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.
Library: White Tank Branch Library location *Hazing is a method that uses deterrents to move an area or discourages an undesirable behavior or activity. Hazing demonstrations will be given.
