Did you know Dublin has a wildlife expert who can answer your questions on everything from plants that deer love and hate to how a skunk smell gets in your house or car? She's Dublin's Nature Education Coordinator, Barbara Ray, and her work comes from a natural and passionate place. Barbara first started 'rescuing' tarantulas as a kid and grew up loving the outdoors and all animals. She later led a horse breeding program in the Cleveland area, then came to work at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and fortunately, for us, that led to her coming to the City of Dublin. Barbara does so much from hosting classes and school groups to speaking to residents about all things nature and animals. Speaking of which, Barbara, Lindsay and Bruce explain a new city ordinance amendment regarding wild animals, what you need to know about the current deer mating season, plus some myth-busting on what really works if your pet gets sprayed by a skunk. (hint: toothpaste)

Dublin is home to many furry creatures, including coyotes! Learn more about their habits and what to do if you encounter a coyote in this episode of Dublin's Backyard with Barbara.
