To help the community stay informed and safe, the City of La Cañada Flintridge is having upcoming presentations by Pasadena Humane focusing on wildlife safety and coyote awareness. The sessions, scheduled for February, aim to provide residents with information and practical guidance on coexisting safely with local wildlife.

Pasadena Humane will present twice at city hall’s council chambers. The first session is scheduled for Feb. 17 and will be part of the regularly scheduled LCF City Council meeting and will cover coyote behavior, coexistence strategies and common misconceptions about local wildlife. This presentation will be recorded and posted on the city’s website for those who are unable to attend in person.

A follow-up interactive workshop will be held on Feb. 23 during the Public Safety Commission meeting. Building on the earlier presentation, this one-hour session will focus on practical tools for preventing wildlife conflicts and responding safely to encounters. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and participate in discussion.

“We encourage residents to take advantage of these opportunities to learn directly from wildlife experts,” said Mayor Kim Bowman. “Understanding coyote behavior and how to respond appropriately helps keep our community, pets and wildlife safer.”

Both meetings are open to the public, free of charge, and do not require registration. While the LCF City Council and Public Safety Commission meetings begin at 6 p.m., these presentations are scheduled as agenda items and their start times may vary.
