Do Not Feed the Wildlife
The wildlife at the Mineola Nature Preserve may be beautiful to watch, but feeding them is strictly prohibited. Human food can harm animals by disrupting their natural diets and causing serious health problems. Feeding wildlife can also make animals lose their natural fear of people, which can lead to aggressive behavior and dangerous encounters for both visitors and animals.
When wildlife becomes dependent on human food, it changes their natural habits and can put them at risk.
Help us protect the animals and keep the preserve safe for everyone. Please enjoy wildlife from a distance and never feed them.
Together we can help keep wildlife wild at the Mineola Nature Preserve.
