You could take a proactive approach and let your property return to a

I have done just that. I have three acres and have let about 2.5 acres
revert to the natural state, including a pond. I have a lot of
wildlife and have the opportunity to observe them..... without feeding
them.

Sounds like a good plan. No one really needs more than a half acre or
so for house and lawn.
