Description for website

If you are concerned about rats in your community garden, consider joining
this 2-Part workshop, “Thinking like a rat: develop a strategy to send rats
packing from your garden”. Created by Lincoln Park Zoo’s Chicago Rat
Project in partnership with Chicago Park District and NeighborSpace, this
two-part workshop will provide gardeners with the tools and knowledge to
prevent,
deter, and control rats in a community garden space. Part 1 will provide
information on the brown rat: Why they may be attracted to gardens, and
measures you can take to deal with rats.
Part 2 will be a hands-on demonstration visiting a community garden,
identifying rat signs, and learning how to apply the strategies shared in
Part 1. See the flyer for more information and to register!
