OCHS August Zoom Presentation by Chris Crosby

Celebrate summer at the Shore with Ocean County Historical Society!  Our goal is to tell the stories of Ocean County and we are visiting some of the plant and animal residents that you will encounter along the Jersey coastline.

On August 22, 2021, at 2:00 PM, please join Chris Crosby, a PhD student in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Natural Resources at Rutgers University. The focus will be on coyotes that arrived in NJ about 80 years ago and can now be found in almost every town across the state.  In the past 2 years, coyotes have immigrated to Barnegat Light, reproduced, and are dispersing across Long Beach Island.  Learn some history of eastern coyotes, their ecology and behavior, and important guidance for avoiding negative human-coyote interactions.
