Q: What should I do if there is a wolf in my yard?

• <div><p>If you come face-to-face with a wolf in your yard, chances are it will be afraid of you as a human. Make eye contact and get big&mdash;waving your arms to increase your size. Use noisemakers or air horns if you have them, or throw a few rocks around to discourage them from approaching you. If all else fails and the wolf does not retreat, back away slowly while maintaining eye contact and find safe ground, whether indoors or up a tree. </p></div>

Q: Are silt fences effective?

• <div><p>Silt fences are very effective when installed correctly and used in proper locations. However, there are places where they don&rsquo;t work as well. This includes property with a concentrated water flow, where runoff could pool or cause a flooding hazard. You&rsquo;ll also want to use caution when installing in areas susceptible to landslides. Your contractor will follow state guidelines and know when an alternate solution is more effective.</p></div>

Q: How far apart should strands be from each other?

• <div><p>The bottom strand should sit between 12 to 15 inches from the ground. If you have a problem with small critters, you can aim for 8 inches. Three-strand fences should be 16 to 19 inches apart, four-strand fences should be 10 to 12 inches apart, and five-strand fences should be 8 and 10 inches apart.</p></div>
