Our Misunderstood Environment: Coyote Coexistence

There are few species in North America as misunderstood and maligned as the coyote. Yet many understand them as a symbol of resilience and a subject of admiration, a North American mascot and vital member of our ecological team. Please join us for guest speaker Dana Goin’s talk about eastern coyotes, their history and ecology, and what we can do to best coexist with them. Attendees will come away with a better understanding of the behavior and benefits of the eastern coyote and how to empower our community with the tools, information, and resources to help us peacefully coexist with this misunderstood predator.
