Sightings of eastern coyote in Essex County are not exactly rare, but they remain a very secretive species. Do you know where they live, how they raise their pups, what their barks, howls and yips mean?
Greenbelt is pleased to invite back Dan Gardoqui, Certified Maine Guide, educator, writer, and tracker, to dive into the secrets of the coyote with us!

In addition to co-founding and directing a successful nature connection nonprofit (White Pine Programs) and a successful consulting & guiding business (Lead with Nature) Dan has also engaged in citizen science and field research projects focused on: Flying Squirrels, Canada Lynx, Moose, Eastern Wolves, Blanding's and Spotted Turtles and Grasshopper Sparrows. Dan served as Faculty for both Granite State College and the University of New Hampshire, where he taught winter ecology, natural history and field dendrology. Dan's certifications include: Registered Maine Guide, Certified Wildlife Tracker, Certified Bird Guide and Wilderness First Aid. He has led hundreds of walks, talks, workshops, expeditions and travel tours throughout North America, Canada, and Southern Africa - working with people of all ages.
