Wildlife management and the success thereof often relies on people management. 

Environmental education is imperative to understanding and integrating nature into urban spaces. From school outreach programs, directed nature walks, farmers market exhibits, information boards and staff workshops; there are hundreds of ways to bring about environmental and wildlife awareness. 

Through empowerment and knowledge, answering questions such as "what do I do if I see a bear?", "how does beaver management affect migrating fish?", "how do I make my property less attractive to wildlife?" and "should I run from an aggressive coyote?" will help change people's perceptions and behaviour. As a result preventing and mitigating human-wildlife conflicts.

In addition to education, community engagement and stakeholder involvement is an integral part of any effective wildlife management program. Through personal connection, commitment and support; interested and affected parties will feel heard, resulting in sustainable support of initiatives and increase the chance of success.  

At Silver Creek, our team of environmental educators create awareness in a variety of settings to teach about issues related to human-wildlife conflict, management and conservation. 

While our community engagement professionals engage with stakeholders to achieve long-term and sustainable outcomes through inclusive decision making and relationship building.

Whether you looking for education, engagement or both, we are looking forward to discussing how we can support.
