Wildlife Management

Do not feed wildlife!

Deer, coyotes, raccoons and other wildlife are not pets and are able to find their own food. Please respect their wild nature. Feeding wildlife has negative impacts on wildlife health and behavior. It can also lead to aggressive wildlife encounters with people.

With it's beautiful green spaces and natural wildlife corridors, Saskatoon offers shelter to many species of wildlife such as coyotes, skunk, foxes, moose, deer, rabbits, porcupines, beavers and muskrats. It is normal to encounter urban wildlife and we encourage you to learn about their behavior so that we can coexist peacefully. The City of Saskatoon offers select services related to wildlife that you can explore below.
