Coyotes 101

Coyotes 101 is a coyote-preparedness auditorium presentation for schools. Topics of discussion include coyote identification, behaviour, survival requirements, and attractants found in cities and backyards. Most importantly, students are taught appropriate and inappropriate behaviour around coyotes.

Coyote Class

Interested in having your students directly take part in the Co-Existing with Coyote's experience? We offer Coyote Class

This Intermediate or Primary program includes:

Coyote presentation (Multimedia presentation introducing coyotes and urban wildlife)
Interpretive walk (What attracts coyotes to the school property?)
Coyote activities (Building a coyote shaker)

Venue: class and school grounds
Time: 2 hours
Size: 60 students
Cost: $300 per school (VSB schools may be eligible for a district subsidy, please contact us for more information)

The coyote (Canis latrans) serves as is a prime example of how urban wildlife successfully adapts to an urban environment and how community residents need to take action to reduce conflict between humans and wildlife. The workshop strengths lies in having students getting out and visually experiencing what attracts coyotes to their school while also getting them to understand the need to keep the school property clean and free of food items that are often left behind from recess and lunch periods. An equally important and popular part of the Coyote Class workshop is watching the students actively participating in the coyote deterring session whereby they learn, practice and demonstrate being BIG MEAN and LOUD, never running away from a coyote, and always telling an adult that they saw a coyote.
