COUNTY News:

Los Alamos County Council will hold a public hearing at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 30, on a proposed ordinance that would prohibit feeding wild animals within County limits (with an exception for songbirds and pollinators).

While feeding wildlife may feel helpful, it can actually cause problems—like attracting animals into neighborhoods, spreading disease, damaging property, and making wildlife lose their natural fear of people.

The community is invited and encouraged to attend this important meeting in Council Chambers at 1000 Central Ave., or to share thoughts online once the agenda is posted.
