A March Webinar with Dr. Phoebe Parker-Shames

On Saturday, March 8th at 7 pm, the Friends of San Pedro Valley Park welcome Dr. Phoebe Parker-Shames and Tali Caspi for their presentation “Coyote Research, Management, and Coexistence in the Bay Area.”  They will explore with us the complex relationship between people and coyotes in the Bay Area and explain what coyotes eat, how individual differences affect their behavior, and why they thrive in urban areas.  They’ll also share how community science and tracking studies help them learn more about coyotes’ movements and habits, offering practical tips for fostering coexistence.  Finally, Phoebe and Tali will discuss real-world challenges and strategies for managing interactions between people and coyotes, drawing on the expertise of local agencies.  Please join us for what should be a very interesting and informative presentation.
