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 and sharing the results with the scientific community and general public
2. Providing free, accessible, and evidence-based information about living with coyotes
