Event Type: All Ages
Age Group(s): Family - All Ages
Date: 2/9/2019
Start Time: 1:00 PM
End Time: 2:30 PM
Description:
 Coyotes are members of the dog family and one of the most adaptable animals in the world, having adapted readily to the changes caused by human occupation. As more people move to the West Valley, “urban coyote” sightings are becoming commonplace in neighborhoods and on golf courses. This informative presentation will explore the behavior, biology, and the ecological importance of coyotes. It will also discuss how and when to haze* coyotes, and most importantly, how to avoid conflicts.

*Hazing is a method that uses deterrents to move an area or discourages an undesirable behavior or activity. Hazing demonstrations will be given.

The presenter, Linda Bolon, is a 14-year Project Coyote Program Associate and founder of the Wildlife in Neighborhoods program. Project Coyote is a national non-profit organization whose mission is to promote compassionate conservation and coexistence between people and wildlife through education, science and advocacy.

This program is presented by the White Tank Mountain Conservancy.
