The Portland Urban Coyote Project​​ is a community science and education project. Our mission is to understand how people and coyotes interact and to help the community learn about our coyote neighbors.

We achieve our mission by:
  1. Collecting, mapping​​, and analyzing coyote sightings in the Portland metropolitan area (PMA) and sharing the results with the scientific community and general public
  2. Providing free, accessible, and evidence-based information​​ about living with coyotes
​

  • Maintaining the website, including keeping the map​, research snapshots​, and educational materials​ (tutorial, fact sheets, curriculum guide, workbook, etc.) up-to-date
  • Creating new materials and repackaging information in a variety of bite-sized and accessible formats to reach the widest audience possible
  • Managing social media accounts and email
    • Proactive sharing of pictures and educational materials
    • Responding to community questions about coyotes through email, social media, and phone calls
  • Supporting the wider community

    • Applying for and managing small grants for physical materials to distribute
    • Coordinating/visiting schools, neighborhood associations, and other local groups and venues for in-person presentations
    • Organizing and hosting Coyote-palooza​​ with partners—an annual coyote street fair in downtown Portland
