Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

Human-animal conflicts are becoming more relevant as urban areas expand. Let's take a look at the raccoons on Cal Poly Humboldt's campus as an example of how to handle other species that may come into conflict with people. In my project I looked at storm drain distance from trashcans to see if there is any relation to how often they are used by the raccoons.
