How to Ensure this Halloween isn’t a Scary One for Wildlife

Below are a few examples of ways to prevent wildlife from becoming harmed on this spooky holiday.

Fake spider webbing can entangle wildlife and even choke them. To avoid causing unnecessary injuries, please do not use these spooky decorations. 

Halloween night is a change in the daily routine for nocturnal wildlife. The animals who are awake during the day are not used to humans running around in scary costumes. Please be cautious when driving and be on high alert for what might run in front of you. It’s important to remember that we’re living in their home too. 

Additionally, reduce waste as much as possible and buy your custom second-hand. Greenwood has a thrift shop that offers many options to create the perfect, sustainable Halloween costume. 

If you notice an animal in trouble, please call Greenwood at 303-823-8455. We are open 9 am – 4 pm, seven days a week.
