The Real Eastern Coyote
Wednesday, July 24 at 6:00 p.m.

Learn the true story of the eastern coyote – how and when it arrived in New England, how it lives among us but is rarely seen and how it contributes to keep our forests and fields healthy.

Learn why it is a creature of our own making.  It is smart, beneficial and by its presence, gives “wild” back to our wild lands.  This New Wild also requires that livestock and pet owners step up to steward our creatures with greater care.

Despite the ecological benefits that the coyote brings, it is the most persecuted carnivore in North America.  Yet, it survives and thrives despite efforts to eradicate it.

Chris Schadler, M.S., Conservation Biology, will discuss coexistence strategies, whether you farm, hike or garden.  “Understanding the mind and ecology of the coyote can keep us one step ahead of problems”, according to Chris, who with 30 years of wolf and coyote research, sheep farming and teaching will demonstrate that “knowledge is power” when it comes to living with coyotes.

The Gale Library will be closed on Thursday, July 4, Friday, July 5 and Saturday, July 6 for the Independence Day weekend.
