Portland Urban Coyote Project

Coyotes live in cities across the US and Canada—all of us benefit from following these guidelines:

-Never feed coyotes and remove potential food sources.
-Protect pets. Keep pets indoors, on short leashes, and supervised.
-Scare off bold coyotes. Make noise until the coyote leaves the area.
-Share this message. This only works when the whole community works together to keep people, pets, and coyotes safe.
