Fillmore and Ventura County discourage feeding wildlife, particularly coyotes, which are common in the Santa Clara River Valley. Deliberately feeding coyotes, bears, or other predatory wildlife can result in enforcement action. Residents must secure trash and pet food to avoid attracting wildlife.
The Santa Clara River corridor through Fillmore supports significant wildlife populations including coyotes, bobcats, and various bird species. Ventura County regulations and city nuisance ordinances prohibit creating conditions that attract predatory wildlife to residential areas. This includes deliberately feeding coyotes, leaving pet food outdoors, and failing to secure trash containers. The agricultural areas surrounding Fillmore see regular wildlife-human interactions. California Fish & Game Code §2580-2589 authorizes local wildlife management programs. Residents should report aggressive wildlife encounters to California Department of Fish & Wildlife at (805) 644-5530.
Deliberately feeding predatory wildlife may be enforced as a nuisance violation. Failure to secure trash that attracts wildlife can result in code enforcement action. California Fish & Game Code violations may carry separate state penalties.
