Events › Wildlife Encounters with Washington Dept. Fish and Wildlife

Cougars, coyotes, and bears, oh my! Learn how to safely coexist with the animals in your backyard and in the wilderness with Wildlife Conflict Specialist Kevin O’Connor from the Department of Fish and Wildlife. We'll go over how to identify tracks and scat, what to do when you encounter an animal in the wild, and more!

In Washington, even the state's urban hubs are just a short drive from mountains, woods, and wilderness. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is dedicated to preserving, protecting, and perpetuating the state’s fish, wildlife, and ecosystems while providing sustainable fish and wildlife recreational and commercial opportunities.

For adults.
