The New York Canid Project is a community science study led by Isabella Vinces, a Science research student at Ossining High School. The goal for this study is to determine the effects of coyote populations on previously residing red fox populations in urban and suburban areas throughout New York. To participate, you simply have to be of or over the age of fourteen and need to have had a coyote or red fox sighting within the past five years in New York. Participants will be asked to fill out a total of 2 to 3 short questionnaires- a Demographics Form, and either a Coyote Sighting Questionnaire or a Red Fox Sighting Questionnaire depending on the animal they have encountered.
This is a fun way to talk about and share your coyote and red fox sightings while also contributing to something bigger than yourself. Along with a simple way to gain community service hours. Not to mention, with the current increase in urbanization, it is only natural that we will be encountering these animals more often making it important to study their behaviors. Isabella is looking for all the participants she can get, so If you are interested in helping her with her research project, please click on the link below:
