The Town of Seabrook Island’s Environment & Wildlife Committee and St. Christopher Camp and Conference Center are presenting a public information meeting for residents about coyotes on Seabrook Island.
Monday, March 25, 2024
7:00 pm
The Lake House in Live Oak Hall
Jared Crain, the Outdoor Encounters Coordinator and Naturalist at St. Christopher Camp and Conference Center, will lead the discussion about coyotes and their presence on our barrier island. Jared will be assisted by Jay Butfiloski, Furbearer and Alligator Program Coordinator and Certified Wildlife Biologist with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR).
Among the topics to be discussed about coyotes are their appearance, behavior,
howling/vocalizations, life cycle, and their impact on plants and other wildlife. In addition, perspectives on how to manage coyotes will be reviewed including information from the SCDNR and the Atlanta Coyote Project. The meeting will last approximately one hour followed by a question and answer session.
Please note, the purpose of the meeting is not to make you fear coyotes, but to give you information about their behavior, way of life and how we can safely coexist with them.
You may never see a coyote, but please plan to attend the meeting and learn about your new furry neighbors.
