Becoming Wolf: Coyotes in Eastern New England

This program focuses on the eastern coyote's ecology and behavior and how hunting may actually be a more rapid evolution toward wolf!

Beginning in the early 1990’s, Chris Schadler taught Conservation Issues, Dendrology and Wolf Ecology at the University of New Hampshire, receiving many teaching excellence and student recognition awards. She continues to instruct and mentor adult degree candidates in the UNH System at Granite State College.

While wolf recovery was the focus of her early work, Chris’ attention shifted to the Eastern coyote when she moved to New England. She chose a farm with coyote problems to see if she could raise sheep and train her border collies. Using sound livestock management and common sense, she avoided any predation for over two decades.

Location: Milford Town Hall Banquet Room. Please use the entrance on Middle Street and take the elevator to the 3rd floor.
