MAYOR'S MESSAGE Keeping the Wildlife Wild in Coos Bay As we continue to focus on bringing the Boardwalk facilities into better condition, the question of how to address wildlife impacts has come up. We are considering opportunities on how to better manage impacts from birds using the covered Boardwalk areas as their nesting areas. At the same time, one of the many things that makes Coos Bay special is our connection to the natural world. Whether its deer wandering through neighborhoods, birds gathering along our waterways, or the occasional raccoon, fox, or other wildlife passing through town, we are fortunate to live in a community where nature remains close at hand. Understanding this shared space, and how we can all be better stewards of this shared space, to ensure healthy and safe living for all is crucial. Because we share our community with wildlife, it's important that we do so responsibly. While many people enjoy observing animals and may be tempted to offer food, wildlife experts caution that feeding wild animals can often do more harm than good. According to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, feeding wildlife can cause animals to lose their natural fear of people, increase aggressive behavior, spread disease, and create conflicts between wildlife, pets, and neighborhoods. Human-provided food can also lack the nutrients wildlife need and may harm their health. Wildlife attracted to a food source on a single property can quickly impact an entire neighborhood. Increased animal activity can lead to property damage, traffic hazards, accumulation of waste, and the attraction of predators. What begins as a well-intentioned act can unintentionally create challenges for both people and animals. Fortunately, there are many positive ways residents can support wildlife without creating dependency or conflict. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife recommends enjoying wildlife from a distance, using native plants that provide natural food sources, maintaining clean bird feeders, and installing birdhouses or bat boxes where appropriate. Residents can also help by securing garbage, pet food, and compost, supervising pets, and working with neighbors to reduce attractants that may draw wildlife into residential areas. As a community, we can appreciate the beauty and diversity of local wildlife while also helping ensure animals remain wild. By respecting their natural behaviors and habitats, we protect both the animals we enjoy seeing and the quality of life in our neighborhoods. Coos Bay's natural setting is one of our greatest assets. With a little awareness and shared stewardship, we can continue to enjoy living alongside wildlife for generations to come. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos BayPhotos from Coos Bay - City Government's post Featured News by City of Coos Bay
