The houses in Hunters Point back up to or are very close to areas of open space, forested areas and natural landscaping. It is not feasible or practical to pursue the reduction or relocation of the wildlife.

Governmental agencies will not take action on a request for trapping or eliminating indigenous wildlife unless there are life threatening circumstances.

Wildlife are normally wary of people and pose a minimal threat if you abide by the recommendations of wildlife officials. Never feed wildlife or approach them.

Caution, there are cactus in some of these undeveloped park areas. They can lay very low below other vegetation and be hard to see. Responsible adult supervision, appropriate footwear and thick pants are prudent when exploring parks or open spaces.
