Wildlife Damage Management

Wildlife Ecologists with extension or outreach appointments, as I have, are often called upon to proved information, education, and strategies to manage humans and wildlife interactions.  Although this is not a focus of my outreach program, below are a number of internet sites I use to develop and recommend solutions to negative human-wildlife interactions.  If you find a site that you believe would be useful to be included below, please let me know.

• eXtension.org - national extension site that features Wildlife Damage Management
• Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management, University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
• Prevention and Control of Wildlife Damage Manual.
• Bats , look under the "discovery" tab on the left.
