NW VEG Eastside Potluck + The Portland Urban Coyote Project

We are very pleased to welcome Zuriel van Belle to present to us about Portland's resident coyotes following our Eastside vegan potluck. The Portland Urban Coyote Project has been recording human-coyote interactions for over 10 years. With the help of over 20,000 sighting reports, van Belle will unpack the human side of human-wildlife conflict, explain how coyotes make a living in the city, how wildlife stewardship starts in our own backyards, and what's next for the coyote project. Zuriel van Belle is a geographer focused on animals, plants, and places. She is the director of the Portland Urban Coyote Project, a community science, research, and education project. Her personal interests include digging in the dirt, downshifting, and dogs. Come to the potluck at 5:00, the Portland Urban Coyote presentation at 6:15, or both. For the potluck, please bring a plant-based (no meat, dairy, honey, or other animal products) main dish, salad, or dessert; a card listing its ingredients; and plates and utensils for your use. If you come alone, figure the amount to serve 4-6; increase the amount 4 servings for each additional person in your party/family.
