A Nevada Department of Wildlife urban wildlife coordinator will teach people how to handle wildlife encounters, whether it be while camping, hiking or in your own backyard.

There will be lessons on what to do and how to react to wild animals; from raccoons and coyotes to bears and mountain lions. This family-friendly event is free, and park entrance fees will be waived for attendees.

The program will be at Spooner Lake State Park on June 12 at 7pm.

Sign-ups are encouraged, but not required, by calling 775.749.5980.
