Title

Request from University of Wisconsin to allow the Urban Canid Project to continue for a ninth year and the installation of a wildlife camera along the bikepath in Reindahl Park for an eighth year.

 

Body

UW-Madison is entering the 9th year of the UW Urban Canid project and would like to continue the project in Madison Parks, with a focus on urban red fox because there are nominal research studies examining urban red fox in North America.  UW-Madison requests approval to continue trapping in select Madison Park properties, under the condition of communicating with designated staff prior to commencing any such activity.
