Edmonton is home to one of the largest urban park systems in North America, and that natural abundance comes with a corresponding level of human-wildlife conflict. The North Saskatchewan River valley, Whitemud Creek, and the city's extensive ravine network create natural wildlife corridors that bring coyotes, beavers, deer, and other species into daily contact with residents and businesses. Animal Damage Control has been the preferred wildlife management partner for Edmonton-area clients since 1990, operating out of our Sherwood Park headquarters just east of the city.
Our proximity to Edmonton means faster response times and a team that knows the local landscape — the species that inhabit it, the seasonal patterns that drive conflicts, and the regulatory environment that governs management activities. From a single nuisance animal on a residential property to a large-scale municipal program covering multiple sites, we scale our services to meet the need. We think proactively, helping clients identify and address vulnerabilities before they become costly problems.
Edmonton's river valley and surrounding boreal transition zone support a diverse range of wildlife. Our team is trained and licensed to manage all species commonly encountered in the Edmonton metro area, including:
Edmonton's urban-natural interface demands a flexible, evidence-based approach to wildlife management. We combine field expertise with current best practices to select the right strategies for each unique situation.
