On Saturday, June 4, the Museum of the Hudson Highlands presents a unique Saturday Nature Program for all ages - "Living with Coyotes," 10am at the Museum’s Boulevard location in Cornwall-on-Hudson. Scott Smith, Wildlife Biologist, Region 3, NYS DEC, is the guest speaker at this special presentation.
One might think coyotes live only out west, but actually their strangely eerie and yet melodious call can be heard throughout the continental Unites States … and even in Cornwall!
Learn how to live peacefully with your coyote neighbors. Some of the things we should be doing may surprise you, as well as the important things we should not be doing when coyotes are living nearby. Scott Smith will share his extensive knowledge of coyotes in New York. He will discuss their natural history and behavior and then provide a list of steps we can all follow to reduce or prevent coyote conflicts.
