Wildlife!

On December 1, 2015 a public symposium was conducted by Hoang Dinh of LA Animal Services and volunteers from CA Dept. of Fish and Wildlife. The event focused on co-existing with coyotes and emphasized the importance of not feeding (even fallen fruit can attract them) and “hazing” to keep them naturally afraid of humans. The event was sponsored by the Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council Public Safety Committee.
