Coyote Safety Reminder
I
t’s breeding season again for our resident coyotes. That, on top of all the current construction surrounding Wells Branch, increases their activity and the likelihood that you may encounter one on your walks, or even in your yard. Please visit the sites listed below and make sure you’re following all their suggestions. Both sites cover tips on deterring coyotes and discuss how to best protect your fur babies. Most of all, keep an eye on small pets and keep them leashed when on the trails. Be safe, not sorry!
