Urban wildlife, including skunks, often struggles to thrive in densely populated areas. However, thoughtfully designed outdoor seating can provide shelter and resources for these animals while maintaining urban functionality. To support skunk populations, consider incorporating elevated or hidden spaces beneath benches where skunks can nest or forage. Using natural materials like wood or stone can blend seamlessly into their habitat. Planting native vegetation around seating areas offers food sources like insects and berries. Avoid sharp edges or toxic materials that could harm skunks. Lighting should be minimal to avoid disrupting their nocturnal habits. By integrating these elements, cities can create harmonious spaces that benefit both humans and wildlife, fostering urban biodiversity.
