SUMMARY:Understanding the Eastern Coyote - with Peter Trull
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the Eastern Coyote \nThe Mattapoisett Land Trust invites you to an afternoon with Peter Trull to learn more about our fascinating neighbor\, the eastern coyote. The event will be held Saturday May 16 at 1PM at the Mattapoisett Friends Meeting House\, 103 Marion Road (Rt 6) Mattapoisett.  \nEastern Coyotes are a wild canid whose genetic make-up has been shown to be a combination of two species of wolves\, western coyotes and domestic dogs. While most people refer to them as “Coyotes”\, they are not the animal of the western deserts. It is truly a “canid soup”. Eastern coyotes or “Coywolves” are found throughout Massachusetts and eastern North America. Peter Trull been studying the daily habits and life history of the eastern coyote Canis latrans var. since 1989.  On Cape Cod and throughout New England\, with diverse yet diminishing habitats\, and a growing human population\, eastern coyotes still thrive and are evident to us in our yards and neighborhoods year-round. They are not well understood by most people and their presence may cause alarm and disdain among a large part of the population. His aim as researcher and educator is to offer an objective view of this wild canid\, clarify the many misconceptions\, and inform his audiences\, young and old\, of this predator’s place in our world\, and our place in the coyote’s world. This Program/Lecture will include colorful and informative photographs\, as well as the most up to date information on genetics and taxonomy of the eastern coyote or coywolf. \nPeter Trull has been involved in Research and Education for 50 years. He coordinated seabird protection and research for the Massachusetts Audubon Society. As Education Director at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History\, he developed programs and began studying Eastern Coyotes in 1989. He holds a Master’s Degree in Education. He has written nine books about Cape Cod natural history. \nThis event is free to the public\, and we ask you to register ahead of time by emailing manager@mattlandtrust.org or call 774-377-9191. Check our Facebook page and website for any event updates.
