🐿️ PLEASE DON’T FEED THE WILDLIFE. 🐿️

That squirrel may look cute when it comes running toward you for food—but feeding wildlife can have serious consequences.

When wild animals become accustomed to being fed by people, they can become dependent on human food, lose their natural foraging behaviors, and experience changes to their health and behavior.

🌿 Wildlife is healthiest when it stays wild.

Feeding or offering food to wildlife in prohibited areas is a violation of Pacific Grove Municipal Code 10.10.010, and a citation may be issued for violations.

Please enjoy Pacific Grove’s wildlife from a distance and allow our squirrels and other animals to find their natural food sources.

💙 Don’t feed. Don’t approach. Let wildlife stay wild.

Help us protect the wildlife that makes Pacific Grove so special.
