Mamaroneck To Hold Info Session On Coyotes

MAMARONECK, NY — Recent sightings of coyotes in the Village of Mamaroneck have led officials to schedule an information session to address concerns. Mamaroneck Mayor Tom Murphy said he has asked an expert in the field to come to the next board of trustees regular meeting at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 22.

Margaret Howell of the Wolf Conservation Center will be sharing strategies for keeping children and pets safe, as well as how to make the community less coyote friendly.

“It is important that in dealing with this issue we separate myth from fact and that we utilize scientifically proven strategies,” Murphy said in an email.

Police Chief Christopher Leahy will also be on hand to answer questions and talk about police response to coyote sightings.

LMC-TV will broadcast the session. The meeting will be held in the courtroom at 169 Mt. Pleasant Ave. in Mamaroneck.

The agenda for the meeting can be accessed here.

There is a work session of the trustees at 5:30 p.m. Monday at the same location.
