Program Description

Event Details

" Do you know what to do if you see a coyote, fox, or bobcat? Join us at the library for tips from Heartland Wilding on coexisting with Urban wildlife in Central Iowa.  Find out why wildlife lives in Des Moines, what animals you might see around the city, and why these species might be attracted to our neighborhoods.

The goal of this program is to educate people on urban wildlife and how we can peacefully coexist.
Heartland Wilding is a joint initiative of Project Coyote, The Rewilding Institute, and The Half-Earth Project. The partnership between these three organizations helps to create a healthier and wilder Mississippi River Watershed."
