Preventing human-coyote conflict in our neighborhood:

  • Feeding coyotes is prohibited and subject to penalty fines.

  • Do not leave small children or pets outside unattended.

  • Trim ground-level shrubbery to reduce hiding places.

  • Remove sources of water and fallen fruit from yard areas.

  • Keep trash and compost lids closed at all times.

  • Secure doggie doors and limit usage.

  • Discourage a coyote’s approach by “hazing” - yell loudly, wave your arms to make yourself large, stomp your feet, and throw projectiles at it.

  • Ask your neighbors to follow these precautions.
