The Township of North Huron does not provide Animal Control services beyond dogs. For wildlife concerns, please reference the information below regarding your specific inquiry.
Wildlife issues on private property are the responsibility of the landowner. Landowners can call pest control or animal control companies to remove wildlife from their properties at their own expense.
