22 <br /> MAINTENANCE (continued) <br /> WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT <br /> 1. Habitat for wildlife species that help control pests (e.g., bats, <br /> bluebirds, purple martins, etc.) should be protected. Additional <br /> habitat for these beneficial species should be created whenever <br /> feasible and environmentally desirable. <br /> 2. Manage habitat to maintain healthy populations of wildlife and <br /> aquatic species. <br /> 3. Species such as skunks, non-migratory Canada geese, and deer, <br /> when they become damaging, should be managed through non- <br /> harmful means whenever possible. Non-harmful control <br /> methods could include dogs, noisemakers, repellents, and <br /> trapping and removal. Managed hunting may be appropriate <br /> where legal and safe. <br /> 15 <br />
