Connecticut residents have an opportunity to inform wildlife management and environmental justice decisions. The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s Wildlife Division is seeking public input through a coyote survey about residents’ experiences, perceptions, and concerns. This survey is open to all Connecticut residents and gauges respondents’ views towards coyotes in the state, as well as knowledge of basic coexistence practices. Understanding coyotes can help people better appreciate these wild neighbors and learn how to avoid conflicts. The survey results will help inform Connecticut’s future management and outreach.
Separately, the Connecticut Equity and Environmental Justice Advisory Council and the State’s Open Space Watershed Review Board are seeking Environmental Justice Community Representatives. The position will be based in Hartford, Connecticut. Representatives help guide public participation and advise the department’s programs, policies, and activities.
