🐿️🦝🦌We continue to receive calls asking our staff to remove groundhogs, control squirrels, relocate birds, or stop deer and raccoons from visiting yards.
While we understand that wildlife can sometimes become a nuisance, DPHD does not provide animal control or wildlife removal services.
For wildlife concerns, please contact a local wildlife control professional or the appropriate local agency for assistance.

Babies don't need the fanciest toys to learn and grow.
They need you.
Talking. Reading. Playing. Making silly faces. Celebrating every new milestone. Those everyday moments help build your baby's confidence, curiosity, and connection with you.
That's why Play & Development is one of the five hands-on stations at Dad Skills Camp.
You'll also learn:
🏈 The Fundamentals of newborn care
🛡 Baby safety and car seats
🍼 Feeding and nutrition
🤝 Resources, teamwork, and support for your growing family
Whether you're expecting your first baby or already have a little one at home, Dad Skills Camp is open to dads from Delaware County and surrounding communities. We'd love to help you build the skills and confidence to be the dad your baby already knows you can be.
August 22, 10am-1pm
Free to attend
