Good information ..

Coyotes have become a natural part of our urban and suburban landscape, often thriving because our neighborhoods provide an abundance of food, water, and shelter. While seeing a coyote near your home can be startling, these smart and adaptable creatures play an integral role in our ecosystem. They provide "free rodent control" by hunting mice and rats and help maintain species diversity by regulating populations of other animals like Canada geese and white-tailed deer.

To live safely alongside these neighbors, we must focus on two things: changing the human behaviors that attract them and re-instilling a healthy, natural fear of humans in the coyote population.

Early detection is critical .. The yellow-legged hornet poses a threat to honeybees and other pollinators in our state.

Georgians, especially in Coastal Georgia, are urged to remain vigilant as Yellow-Legged Hornet queens emerge from overwintering and begin establishing new nests.

Early detection is critical! If you see a nest please report it using our online form so we can investigate.
