WEST HOLLYWOOD—The city of West Hollywood will be holding a coyote management and coexistence virtual meeting on Wednesday, December 18. The city indicated on its website that coyotes tend to roam in urban and suburban environments. Coyotes may visit yards and public areas even when people are present and may cause conflicts.

In 2018, West Hollywood adopted a Coyote Management and Coexistence Plan. The plan includes an approach to decrease the potential for harm and provides tips for coexistence. There has been an increase in sightings of coyotes in the area. The meeting will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. via Zoom. The aim of the meeting is to educate community members about coyotes and to provide information about how to respond to coyote sightings. The meeting is free and open to the public.

The meeting will include participation from representatives from the Los Angeles County Department of Agriculture, which is the County-level agency to report coyote sightings and encounters, and from staff from West Hollywood’s Neighborhood and Business Safety Division, which oversees animal care and control services in the region. The meeting is free to join and open to everyone. Join directly using the Zoom platform with this link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85688384380?pwd=cn4tpdqZbczEb2E0DiVfkavOBwLe6a.1.
