Coyote Class

Interested in having your students directly take part in the Co-Existing with Coyote's experience?  We offer Coyote Class

This Intermediate or Primary program includes:

Venue: class and school grounds
Time: 2 hours
Size: 60 students
Cost: $300 per school (VSB schools may be eligible for a district subsidy, please contact us for more information)

The coyote (Canis latrans) serves as is a prime example of how urban wildlife successfully adapts to an urban environment and how community residents need to take action to reduce conflict between humans and wildlife.  The workshop strengths lies in having students getting out and visually experiencing what attracts coyotes to their school while also getting them to understand the need to keep the school property clean and free of food items that are often left behind from recess and lunch periods.  An equally important and popular part of the Coyote Class workshop is watching the students actively participating in the coyote deterring session whereby they learn, practice and demonstrate being BIG MEAN and LOUD, never running away from a coyote, and always telling an adult that they saw a coyote.

For more information or to book the Coyote Class workshop, please contact the School Programs department at:
