Friends of the River Bank (FORB) has a wonderful program scheduled about “Living with Coyotes.” Please see the information below. They also gave a shout out to the new East Sacramento Preservation Environmental Committee. Be sure to come to our March 11th meeting to learn how you can be part of the East Sacramento environmental movement.
Robert Sewell caught pictures of this coyote as it caught a vole for lunch on the Sutter’s Landing mound. Predators like
coyotes are critical for a healthy ecosystem.
We are extremely excited to announce that Guy Galante, coyote whisperer and scholar, will share his knowledge of these magnificent creatures on Saturday, March 14, at 10 am. Guy has been studying coyotes for years, including their interactions in urban and wild settings and their importance to native California cultures. He can answer all of your questions and concerns.
Recent coyote sightings in the neighborhood have raised some alarm. What does it take to coexist with coyotes and what should we do to minimize conflicts with these fascinating animals, who have been in our area far longer than we have?
This program is appropriate for all ages. Meet at the Sutter’s Landing parking lot at the very end of 28th St. We’ll walk down to the river and see how it’s doing in this heading-for-drought season. All ages are welcome. Please bring binoculars, water, and snacks for young ones, and leave your dogs at home. We encourage you to walk, roll, or carpool—let’s keep our carbon footprint as small as possible.
Please share this event widely.
