Urban animals: Caring for the neighbors in our backyard

Our city is a bustling, vibrant place with lots of human activity. But, if you stop and pay attention you’ll see all sorts of wildlife living among us. Foxes, deer, even armadillos call Nashville home. See that stray cat on your street? Chances are, they are not alone. How can we learn about the animals that live in our neighborhoods and learn how to share natural spaces, safely and humanely? But first, WNXP assistant program director Justin Barney tells us what to expect at this year’s Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. Guests: Beth DeMonbreun, director of clinic operations and founder of the community cats program at Pet Community Center Erica Ciccarone, founder of Cat Colony Food Pantry Jo Brichetto, naturalist, writer and creator of Sidewalk Nature blog Debbie Sykes, director of the Nashville Wildlife Conservation Center
