Collapse ▲North Carolina’s Piedmont region is rich with native wildlife—from curious raccoons and rabbits to songbirds, squirrels, and even the occasional fox. While these animals are an important part of our local ecosystem, they can sometimes become uninvited guests in our gardens, yards, or even homes. But instead of seeing them solely as pests, how can we learn to live alongside them?
Join Rebecca Craps, Natural Resources Agent at N.C. Cooperative Extension, Forsyth County Center, for the final program in our Wild Places in Backyard Spaces series, titled “Backyard Wildlife: Friends or Foes?” This free, educational event will take place at the Lewisville Branch Library on Wednesday, May 29, from 2–3 p.m. Registration is required. To register, visit: https://go.ncsu.edu/wildlifefriendsorfoes.
During the program, you’ll learn about the benefits of native wildlife — including natural pest control, pollination, and soil enrichment — as well as practical strategies for minimizing their negative impacts. From securing trash cans to using wildlife-resistant plants, small changes can help protect your home and garden while supporting a healthy environment.
Whether you’re an avid gardener, a backyard birdwatcher, or simply curious about the creatures that call our region home, this program offers valuable insights for peaceful coexistence with our wild neighbors.
