Oakland County Parks land support significant diverse and rare wildlife populations including state and federal threatened species. Wildlife staff monitor native and non-native wildlife populations, habitat and infrastructure to ensure conditions that allow native populations to thrive.  Additionally, our wildlife staff oversee management of nuisance native species such as beaver, Canada goose and white-tailed deer populations through hunting and trapping programs that protect both patrons, natural resources and wildlife populations. Wildlife staff work to educate the public on wildlife to reduce negative impacts in our community and on our wildlife populations.

Oakland County Parks do not accept emergency wildlife.
