Your post really resonated with me Caitlin. I too have noticed an influx of seagulls in my area and we live 25 minutes away from the coast clearly an affect of climate change. We also have a roaming fox walking around the junior and senior yard at break time, looking for scraps of food due to the continual building in the area, the local wildlife are being compromised. Because of this, we have had to insist that the children do not bring food of any kind to the yard. So those half eaten sandwiches have to stay in the lunch boxes for now and teddy bear picnic’s are on hold.
