Living with wildlife.
The greater Helena areacontains an abundant wildlife population. We have the opportunity to see and experience a wider variety of wildlife than most areas due to rich habitat, and our proximity to rivers and mountains. We have deer, antelope, raccoons, foxes, skunks, variety of birds, mountain loins, wolves and bears to name a few. Although these animals are wonderful to observe they can also pose a conflict when they interact in close proximity.
We recommend visiting Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks "Living with Wildlife" website, which features detailed information on how to enjoy Montana's wildlife while maintaining an "unwelcome mat" at your door.
