Wildlife

For Wildlife issues contact DEM 401-222-2284 

It is Illegal for private parties to trap and transport wildlife in the State of Rhode Island.
 
When you trap and transport wildlife you put yourself at risk for exposure to zooanotic diseases such as Rabies, which is fatal if contracted. You also risk spreading diseases to previously healthy domestic and wildlife populations when you introduce a new animal to a new area and population.  You may also be releasing the animal to a location where there are not the proper resources for it to survive. 
Please call DEM if you are having a wildlife issue.

Birds are NOT being collected for West Nile surveillance this 2006 season.  If you have any questions or need further information please call 401-788-3698
