DO NOT FEED WILDLIFE! It is against Colorado State Law
The Board has received several complaints about homeowners feeding wildlife. While animals like squirrels and rabbits may seem harmless—or even entertaining—feeding them is against Colorado law. Colorado Parks & Wildlife strongly reminds residents: “Be a good neighbor to Colorado wildlife—don’t feed them.”
Why it matters:
Health & Safety:
- Squirrels are rodents, closely related to rats and mice. They carry fleas and parasites, and their sharp teeth and claws can cause damage.
- Digging up lawns, flower beds, and gardens
- Eating roots of roses and perennials
- Stripping bark from trees
- Chewing deck railings, exterior wood, and even electrical wiring (including holiday lights and car engines)
- Once established, squirrels, rabbits, or other rodents may require professional pest control at about $100 per animal—an expense no one wants.
Feeding wildlife may seem kind, but it creates neighborhood problems, property damage, and suffering for the animals themselves.
Do not feed peanuts to squirrels, rabbits, or any wildlife. Let wildlife stay wild—and be a good neighbor to your community.

Be Prepared for Emergencies
At the February Board meeting, Selena Silva from South Metro Fire Rescue shared valuable insights on emergency preparedness. Recent wildfires—like the Marshall Fire and those in California—serve as stark reminders that even urban areas need to be ready for disasters such as wildfires, floods, tornadoes, and severe snowstorms.
To help residents stay informed and prepared, South Metro has published the "Preparing for Emergencies" workbook and guide. This comprehensive resource covers:
✅ Wildfire Basics – Understanding fire behavior and risks
✅ Home Hardening Tips – Steps to make your home more fire-resistant
✅ Emergency Readiness – Checklists for preparation and evacuation
✅ Fire-Resistant Landscaping – How to create a defensible space
✅ Critical Alert Systems – Learn how to sign up for Douglas County CODERED and South Metro Fire Co. PULSEPOINT
✅ Recovery After a Disaster – Steps to take in the aftermath
