DEC Issues Guidance to Avoid Coyote Conflicts
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) issued guidance to help prevent conflicts between people and coyotes.
"Coyotes may become more territorial during the breeding and pup-rearing seasons, which in New York run from January through March, increasing the risk for potential conflicts with people and pets," said DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos. "While coyotes are an important part of New York's ecosystem, New Yorkers are encouraged to be aware of the increased risks for conflicts and follow DEC's guidance to prevent coyote encounters."
