Rouge Park's trails wind through important wildlife habitat, home to many wildlife species including coyotes. Here are a few helpful things to know about our four-legged neighbours.

• Coyotes are usually wary of people.
• They can become less fearful if they are fed, or associate us with food sources.
• Coyotes are most active at dusk and dawn.

For the safety of visitors and wildlife

• Always walk with a friend
• Keep your dog leashed
• Stay on marked trails
• Do not approach or feed wildlife

What to do if approached by a coyote

• Remain calm
• Do not run away or turn your back
• Slowly back away
• Make noise, bring a whistle with you
• Please let us know about your sighting share@rougepark.com
