Conflict Prevention
Conflict with wildlife is all too common and often leads to losses of wildlife, beloved companion animals, and farm animals. These tragic events can be reduced with preventative measures.
Our philosophy is to get in front of the problem before there is one. Frequent conflicts occur with predation of pets, farm animals, herbivores enjoying the bounty of ornamental and edible plants, restoration trees and shrubs, pillaging of trash, recycling and composting, and attraction of the myriad of “pests”. Cohabitats will help clients understand which species could present a conflict to you and find solutions on your property to reduce the likelihood of these unfortunate events.
Conflict prevention planning informs site design, building design, waste management, landscape planting selections, orchards, gardens, farms, livestock containment and CC&Rs.
Cohabitats is not a pest management company. We do not perform exclusion or pest management. Our services do not eliminate wildlife but rather help guide design for site planning and techniques to prevent potential conflicts.
