Informational Session on Coyotes in Richmond City

Wednesday, October 26th 2016, from 6:30-8:30pm, at the Patrick Henry School of Science and Arts (3411 Semmes Avenue, Richmond VA), there will be a community conversation and information session on the wild coyotes living in the City of Richmond. Wildlife experts will discuss coyote ecology and behavior, wildlife regulations, and how to best deal with wildlife living near humans.

Coyotes have been documented living in the James River Park, on Belle Isle, and elsewhere around Richmond- and wildlife officials say they're here to stay. While not usually seen by humans, coyotes have been known to prey on unaccompanied pets, as was the case this July when coyotes killed a small dog in Forest Hill.
