Use these questions as a starting point and check details against the property, current records and qualified local advice.
Design for coexistence
Evaluate trash storage, attractants, exterior lighting, fencing and plantings with people familiar with the area. Wildlife movement varies by parcel, and a fence or planted screen may have unintended consequences.
Ask before changing a site
Existing covenants and jurisdictional rules can affect fencing and landscaping. Teton County provides wildlife-friendly fencing information through its planning resources. Seek current guidance for your location and use qualified local help.
Your next step
Keep the focus on attractant management and site-specific advice rather than assuming a neighborhood is free of wildlife.
