The Research Connection: Using iNaturalist to better manage urban coyotes and red foxes

Join us for this exciting webinar with Dr. David Drake from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on May 26, 2021.

Drake and the UW Urban Canid Project have been studying urban coyotes and red foxes in Madison, WI since 2014.  In 2015 Drake started a project-specific iNaturalist page to collect the public’s sightings of coyotes and red foxes in the Madison area.  His presentation will describe the type of iNaturalist data collected and how it is used for improved urban canid management.

The webinar will be held on Zoom. Please register in advance using the link below:
