Sharing Space: Wildlife in Your Own Backyard

Understanding & Coexisting with the Wild Neighbors of Mobile

Join ACES and Red Beard’s Outfitter for a community conversation about the wildlife that share our neighborhoods — and what it really means to live alongside them.

Whether you’re worried about coyotes, curious about the raccoon that keeps showing up on your porch, or just wondering what not to do with leftover pet food — this event is for you.

👉 You’ll learn things about common wildlife that you never knew — like why coyotes might howl but rarely approach, or how feeding raccoons (even accidentally) can lead to bigger problems. Expect practical tips, surprising facts, and open discussion about how to keep both animals and people safe.

Topics include:

How and why wildlife show up in urban and suburban areas

The do’s and don’ts of feeding (or not feeding!) wild animals

Pet safety strategies — what actually works

Simple steps to reduce conflict and promote peaceful coexistence

The critical role these animals play in local ecosystems

No judgment. Just real talk, helpful info, and a shared goal of keeping our homes, pets, and local wildlife safe.
