Dry weather will bring wildlife to our neighborhood. A mountain lion was sighted in the back yard of a house in 200 block of Snapdragon Lane at 7:20 PM Friday, 9/4/20 (backs to open space between Lincoln Hills and the church.) The lion was drinking from the water feature.

If you see this type of wildlife, immediately spread the word to nearby neighbors and notify the Village Coordinator so they can send a notice to the village.

Residents beware; caution is advised on our trails. It’s a good idea to carry a phone and some type of defensive instrument, e.g. golf club, cane, large stick, pepper spray. Keep your pet, particularly small dogs, close to you on our open space trails.

If you should encounter a wild animal, STAND YOUR GROUND, and make as much noise as possible; this will scare them away. NEVER TRY TO RUN AWAY, THINKING YOU CAN OUTRUN A WILD ANIMAL. Running will trigger the prey instinct!

You can report any such sightings during normal business hours to the California Fish and Wildlife Dept at 916 358-2900. After hours, call the Lincoln Police at 916 645-4040. If a human is in danger, call 9-1-1.
