OUR PURPOSE

WildWise Yukon (WWY), and its umbrella organization, The Centre for Human-Wildlife Conflict Solutions (CHWCS), is a community driven, non-profit society established in 2012. WildWise Yukon’s purpose is to help Yukoners prevent and reduce the number of human-wildlife conflicts in the Yukon through research, education and public outreach programs. This is accomplished by working with the public, co-managers, government agencies and other organizations to promote a safe living environment for wildlife and people.

WHAT ARE WE UP TO?

Electric Fence Support Program, Summer 2022

When installed properly, an electric fence can effectively deter animals drawn to yard attractants. If you have been hemming and hawing over getting an electric fence for your yard, 2022 is your year! WildWise Yukon will be providing free consultation, free installation assistance, and a rebate of up to 60% for electric fence materials. Email us at info@wildwise.ca for more information.
