Facebook Event
Coyotes can survive and even thrive in many different kinds of environments – including in cities and our backyards. Coyote-palooza is a family- and pet-friendly event that will feature booths where you can learn about coyote identification and biology, participate in hands-on activities for adults and kids, and discover ways to keep pets and people safe. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn about the cultural significance of coyotes, the role they play in our ecosystem, and how to coyote-proof your space. Stop by for some fun and walk away with new knowledge and tools for coexisting with coyotes!

About Coyote-palooza

Coyote-palooza began in spring 2024, as an outreach event to raise awareness about urban coyotes amongst the community.  We have been thrilled to have so many visitors for the past two years that were interested in learning more about their coyote neighbors—thank you for joining us!  See below for a glimpse of past events.
