Leave wild animals wild“Fawns left alone in the woods are not abandoned,” says Sara Kehrli, wildlife biologist for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. “When fawns are born they have very little scent to them, and does intentionally leave them alone as a way of protecting them from predators. The mother is almost always nearby and keeping an eye on the fawn. She returns to the fawn to nurse when she feels it is safe. Deer living near residences have been known to leave fawns on patios, in backyards and other places. The best thing people can do if they come across a fawn is to move away from the area and leave the fawn alone.” READ more on Dan's Blog: Blog The Road... Leave Wild Animals Wild | |||||||||||||

BACKGROUND: Experimental release of stingless parasitic wasps may help Wisconsin control emerald ash borerEAB was accidentally introduced from China within shipments of imported products. It is not a pest in Asia, where it only lives in dying trees, because ash trees there evolved with it and so healthy Asian ash have effective defenses. Unfortunately, there is no evidence of resistance in our ash species. This spring, scientists with the University of Wisconsin – Madison, the DNR, and USDA-APHIS will introduce three species of stingless parasitic wasps that prey almost exclusively on the ash-killing beetle in a cooperative project. Emerald ash borer was first discovered in Wisconsin near the Village of Newburg in 2008. Since that time, EAB has shown up in Cudahy, Oak Creek, Franklin, West Bend and Victory, and has been trapped in Green Bay and Kenosha. A Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources grant will help fund the research for the next three years. For more information about EAB in Wisconsin, or call 1-800-462-2803.
