Citizen Science to Track Bobcats, Bears, Coyotes, Fishers, and Foxes

Happy (incoming) Spring to Wild Suburbia Project participants! It’s been a loooooong, hard winter both for us and for wildlife. Snow tracking has been fantastic and we hope you have seen some interesting tracks in your backyard!

We wanted to update you on a few things this season. The first is that we are planning to add more information about each species’ natural history to the website. Keep checking our website for that information. The second is that we updated the Sightings Maps in February with many new sightings/no sightings reported over the winter. Thank you for your continued efforts!

We currently have about 350 participants and would love to exceed 500 by May. Please pass the word around about our project so that we can reach our goal. We have another Wild Suburbia workshop planned for the end of the month. On March 27th at 7pm, come to Teatown Lake Reservation located at 1600 Spring Valley Rd, Ossining to learn more about the Wild Suburbia Project, the animals, and how you can contribute to the project. Please RSVP to wildsuburbiaproject@gmail.com. Tell others about the opportunity, and bring your family and friends!
