Document Description
Reduce large population of raccoons found primarily in day use area of Angel Island State Park including Ayala Cove, Camp Reynolds, Fort McDowell and the Immigration Station. Animals will be live trapped and euthanized. Trapping will take place during evening hours when very few park visitors are present. The initial control effort will continue for 10 days. The reduction program will be evaluated at the completion of this effort by the resource ecologist staff prior to continuing the work. The final number of animals to be removed will be based on the population estimate achieved through the trapping program. Control efforts will be necessary in future years and will take place only after evaluation by resource ecologist staff. This project protects public health and safety, and supports continued facility use and maintenance.
