Chris Schadler is a wild canid ecologist who has studied and taught wolf and coyote biology and conservation for over 25 years. She has also raised sheep using only non-lethal methods of predator control. A force to be reckoned with, Chris has dedicated her time to Project Coyote as our New Hampshire and Vermont Representative, inspiring people with presentations about coexisting with coyotes and achieving landmark policy changes for wildlife. We are lucky to have such a multidimensional and dynamic woman in our pack!

He and a committed group of local citizens, including Project Coyote Program Associate Linda Bolon, have significantly raised public awareness about killing contests in the state–including the gruesome Santa Slay Coyote Tournament.
