Hosted by:    Stanley Park Ecology Society Co-existing with Coyotes program

The Stanley Park Ecology Society, in cooperation with the Vancouver Park Board, invites Vancouver residents to a forum that will address issues of urban coyotes in the City of Vancouver.

The 2010 Vancouver Coyote Forum was initiated in an effort to foster a greater understanding of urban coyote management in the city. Attendees will learn about the current coyote management strategy in Vancouver from the organizations involved and gain a better understanding of why a ‘co-existence’ policy has been adopted. Participants will be informed about problem coyotes and learn effective strategies for reducing conflicts with coyotes.

A panel of speakers including wildlife managers, ecologists and educators will be speaking on local challenges and opportunities for successfully coexisting with urban coyotes.
