Here is an opportunity for our Chino Hills friends to learn more about coyotes during a special event offered by the City and Senator Ling Ling Chang. The event is tonight–hope you can make it!
There are easy ways to help research scientists understand where wildlife cross roads. Sadly, one way is through roadkill data. The California Roadkill Observation System (CROS), is a project of the Road Ecology Center at University of California, Davis. The CROS system, with the help of citizen scientists (like YOU!), plots where the wildlife are dying and what roads have the most animal-vehicle collisions. You can upload your geotagged photo or submit an “observation” to help researchers understand where wildlife … Read More
While Halloween decorations may be a lot of fun for you and the kids, remember some of them have tragic impacts for our wildlife. View the CBS Interview.

This only includes animals found immediately adjacent to the road—not the ones that manage to crawl off the side of the road and die elsewhere.

Next time (and every time) you are on the road be sure to scan the sides so you can avoid an animal darting out!
