BERKELEY — A workshop on coyotes and how to coexist with them will be featured at the city’s animal shelter from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 pm Feb. 4.
The shelter, formally known as Berkeley Animal Care Services, is at 1 Bolivar Drive .
“The coyote, known as the Song Dog, has existed in North America since the Pleistocene (era) and is the most persecuted native carnivore in North America,” an announcement from the shelter reads in part. “Coyotes have expanded their range across North America and are increasingly common in residential areas where their presence can cause alarm and fear, especially regarding pets.”
Coyotes are “remarkably adaptable and resilient predators that pose both challenges and benefits to urban and rural communities,” the announcement adds.
The workshop will be presented by Keli Hendricks, the ranching with wildlife coordinator for the Bay Area-based nonprofit organization Project Coyote, and will include the following topics:
- Common causes of negative encounters with coyotes
- Strategies for reducing negative encounters
- Keeping pets safe
- How to live successfully with coyotes and other wildlife.
Space is limited. To book a seat, RSVP at 510-981-6603 or Animalservices@CityofBerkeley.Info.
