Urban Wildlife 101: Living w/ Coyotes, Mountain Lions (SF Main Library)

SFPLDiscover the fascinating wildlife that shares our California communities—from mountain lions and coyotes to raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and many other familiar neighborhood animals. These species play vital roles in maintaining healthy ecosystems and are living closer to people than ever before. This presentation explores the ecological importance of both top predators and common backyard wildlife, explains why animals are increasingly adapting to urban and suburban environments, and offers practical, humane strategies for preventing conflicts. Attendees learn how to safely and responsibly coexist with wildlife while protecting their homes, pets, and the natural balance of our local ecosystems. Presented by Naturalist James Aliberti, B.A., M.S., former Ranger and Bio Technician for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Master Interpreter at LushNature Wellness Services.
