Coyote Mating Season
Coyote mating season is approaching and residents who live or walk near their habitats and wooded areas should take extra care. Residents are reminded to be cautious and:

• Pick up small children and dogs
• Never run from or turn their back on a coyote - slowly back away
• Carry a flashlight at night
• Keep trash cans covered
• Keep pets on a leash during walks and indoors at night or enclosed in kennels
• Keep cats indoors. Letting cats roam can draw coyotes into the area
• Do not leave leftover food or garbage in public or private outdoor spaces
