Coyotes in the City! March 3rd @ Grant High

Coyotes have established themselves on urban landscapes across North America. Today
they can be found in cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Cleveland and
yes, Portland! Although coyotes have lived in NE Portland for years, they have suddenly
become much more visible in recent months.

A Presentation on Urban Coyotes by Bob Sallinger,
Conservation Director Audubon Society of Portland &
Barbara Brower and students of the Geography Dept. at PSU.

WHEN:
March 3rd @ 6:30 PM

WHERE:
Grant High School
2245 NE 36th Avenue

ALL ARE WELCOME


Come learn about urban coyotes, the role they play in
our urban ecosystem and how we can reduce and
prevent conflicts. The presentation will focus
specifically on the increased coyote sightings in
Alameda, Grant, Irvington and Beaumont-Wilshire
Neighborhoods

Bob Sallinger has been tracking urban coyote issues
across the Metropolitan Landscape for nearly two
decades. PSU and Audubon are launching a new
Urban Coyote Project which will focus on increasing
awareness and understanding about urban coyotes
and developing best management practices to prevent
and reduce conflicts.
