Beware coyotes! Fairfield info seminar Tuesday

With a series of recent reports of coyotes attacking pets in Fairfield, the town's Animal Control Department plans a public information seminar on coyotes at 7 p.m. Tuesday on the second-floor board meeting room of the Riverview Park building, 501 Kings Highway East.

Urban wildlife expert Lynsey White Dasher will discuss issues such as neighborhood coyote sightings, attacks on domestic pets and fear for human safety.

Dasher will also cover techniques for addressing habituated or bold coyotes, what types of coyote behavior constitute a true risk and where public education can best reduce human-coyote conflicts.
