Livonia discourages feeding deer, geese, raccoons, and other wildlife, and Michigan law bans deer and elk baiting/feeding in the Lower Peninsula to control chronic wasting disease.
Michigan Department of Natural Resources prohibits the feeding and baiting of deer and elk across the entire Lower Peninsula, including Wayne County and Livonia, as a measure to control chronic wasting disease (CWD). Violations carry state-level fines and potential loss of hunting privileges. Livonia also enforces local nuisance provisions that discourage feeding of raccoons, skunks, opossums, and waterfowl in ways that attract concentrations of wildlife or create sanitation problems. Bird feeders remain legal for songbirds but should be taken down if they attract bears (rare in Livonia) or create rodent issues. Residents should store trash in secured containers and avoid leaving pet food outdoors overnight.
