Today is an important day...

Today is the day, I am here at the 3rd Annual Living with Wildlife Conference. Really looking forward to a lot of information shared today, mainly alternatives to culling wildlife.  Also, I am on twitter!  Follow me at TheRimbyst,and follow the conference goings on, #LWW13.

Photo-Op! Meet the Wildlife in Person!

 

Okay, so that is not exactly what happens at the Furbearer Defenders Annual Living with Wildlife Conference, but it is still pretty great.  Last year, I got to chat with Brad Gates of Gates Wildlife Control.  He has a lot of experience dealing with raccoons in Toronto, and his stories have happy endings for the raccoons, which is what we are going for here at Raccoons in My Backyard. (Also, check out his twitter feed for some great photos!)
This year, I am headed to Vancouver for the third Living With Wildlife Conference, and I can't wait.  Though I am a bit disappointed there isn't a clear "Raccoon" theme to the sessions, I am looking forward to another great event, and also the opportunity to chat with some West Coast Raccoons!
