In our efforts to broaden awareness and understanding of coyotes, Project Coyote staff and advisory board members provide presentations, workshops, film screenings, and innovative educational events throughout the year nationwide- from California to Maine and points in between!

These events take place in a variety of forums and we structure them to bridge the gap between science and public awareness. Events range from Project Coyote sponsored programs to conferences where one of our staff or advisory board members is an invited guest speaker, session organizer and moderator, workshop trainer, and/or exhibitor.

We also provide public screenings of a new documentary co-launched with Living World Films LLC called American Coyote ~ Still Wild at Heart. This movie conveys Project Coyote’s message in a compelling and visually appealing way.

If you are interested in having one of our staff or advisory board members speak at a particular function or before your community, or in screening American Coyote ~ Still Wild at Heart, please contact us at info@projectcoyote.org and visit our Programs Page.

Peruse our past events and don’t miss our upcoming programs!
