WILDLIFE – Moose have found their way into Spokane-area neighborhoods in a big way in recent years.

This is good, until it goes bad with an 800-pound critter stomping through playgrounds, breaking down fences, chasing dogs, bolting across heavily-traveled roads and defending their calves.

Tips on living peacefully and safely with moose will be shared with the public by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife staff:

• Tuesday, April 28, 6:30 p.m., South Hill Library, 3324 S. Perry St.
• May 11, 6:30 p.m., North Spokane Library, 44 E. Hawthorne Rd.
• May 20, 6 p.m., Fish and Wildlife Department Eastern Regional Office, 2315 N. Discovery Place, Spokane Valley.

Wildlife biologists, conflict specialists, and enforcement officers will present information about moose biology, including habitat use and
movements, how to safely handle situations when moose wander into urban areas and when and where to call for assistance.
