Coexist with Coyotes: Discover the importance of coyotes in suburban ecosystems

Wednesday, October, 23, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Free

Please join Dana Goin, Wildlife Outreach Specialist of the Wolf Conservation Center, for a talk covering the history and ecology of eastern coyotes, and how we can best coexist with these clever canids.

Dana Goin is focused on educating the public on the local wildlife with whom we share the landscape, and how to best foster peaceful coexistence with them. Dana got her start at the Wolf Conservation Center in 2013 as a summer intern. One of her first positions working with wildlife, it lead to other research opportunities in college and beyond. After receiving her degree in Wildlife Conservation from the University of Delaware in 2015, she went on to travel around the country as a wildlife technician. Her study species include mountain lions, coyotes, bobcats, gray foxes, raccoons, opossums, and white-tailed deer. She has researched large carnivore populations in megacities such as Los Angeles, predator-prey dynamics and movement, and the efficacy of rabies vaccination baits on mesocarnivores.
