What to Do (When Raccoons Come Calling)

The rain that falls this week may bring the spawning salmon upstream and allow us to eventually reschedule our "Fish Walk" with Dick's friend, Megan. When she's not busy with her salmon-related activities, she runs Rancho Raccoon, an organization that provides foster care and orphaned and injured raccoons until they are ready to return to their natural, wild environment.

If you've got these cute, but sometimes pesky critters going in and out of your home through the cat or doggie door, or living in your attic or crawlspace, Rancho Raccoon can advise you how to legally and safely get these little imps to move on. And if you've got a persimmon tree in your yard and more fruit than you can eat or give away, Rancho Raccoon would be happy for you to call (415/488-1957) to donate these favorite raccoon treats which the organization will freeze and dole out to the "gang" during the next baby season.
