Wildlife Management in Richmond, California: A Commitment to Humane and Effective Solutions
The City of Richmond recognizes the importance of maintaining a balance between our urban environment and the natural wildlife that shares it. Responsible wildlife management is essential for protecting public health and safety, preserving property, and ensuring the well-being of our local ecosystems.

This page outlines the City’s approach to humane wildlife control, emphasizing proactive strategies and minimizing harm to animals.

City of Richmond’s Principles for Wildlife Management:

Public Safety and Health: Protecting residents from potential risks associated with wildlife encounters, including disease transmission and property damage, is our paramount concern.
Preventative Strategies: The most effective approach to wildlife management is to prevent conflicts before they arise. We advocate for:
Securing garbage and food sources in animal-resistant containers.
Eliminating potential shelter sites by maintaining property and sealing entry points.
Modifying landscaping to reduce attractants.
Humane Exclusion and Deterrence: We prioritize non-lethal methods for resolving wildlife conflicts:
Utilizing exclusion techniques that allow animals to safely exit structures without harm.
Employing humane deterrents to discourage wildlife from entering specific areas.
Promoting habitat modification to reduce attractants.
Relocation as a Last Resort: Relocation is considered only when other humane methods are not feasible and when an animal poses a significant threat to public safety. Relocation is conducted in strict adherence to California Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations.
Strict Regulatory Compliance: All wildlife management activities are conducted in full compliance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
Community Education and Outreach: We are committed to educating residents about responsible wildlife interactions, preventative measures, and the importance of coexisting with wildlife.
Addressing Wildlife Concerns in Richmond:

Residents experiencing wildlife conflicts are encouraged to contact Richmond Animal Control, Contra Costa County Vector Control, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. We will assess each situation and implement the most appropriate and humane management strategy.

The City of Richmond is committed to a responsible and ethical approach to wildlife management. We prioritize humane solutions and strive to minimize the need for lethal control. However, in situations where public safety is at immediate risk and all other options have been exhausted, the City reserves the right to take necessary actions.

Key Points:

Proactive prevention is the most effective method for managing wildlife conflicts.
Humane exclusion and deterrence are prioritized over lethal control.
Relocation is used sparingly and in accordance with regulations.
Public safety remains the City’s primary concern.
We encourage residents to become educated on local wildlife.
