The town is located in the wildland-urban interface adjacent to National Forest lands. The town is built upon historic wildlife winter feeding ground and wild animals move freely between the town and the National Forest. In recent years, problems with supplemental feeding have been noted, including increased wildlife mortality and damage to vegetation. The purpose of this subchapter is to protect the health and safety of wildlife within the town and allow wildlife to follow a more normal foraging, browsing and migration pattern between the town and forest.
