USEFUL KNOWLEDGE: A series dedicated to the exploration and dissemination of valuable knowledge across the vast spectrum of human experience. This session centers on Coyote America by Dan Flores and will meet 4 Sundays in October.

Required book: Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History by Dan Flores

Why have coyotes spread to Maine? Are they a threat, a sign of extraordinary resilience, or a bit of wilderness next door? This learning group will read Dan Flores’ best-selling book to learn about the coyote in Native American culture, and the history of American predator control. We then look at coyotes in Maine and our own experiences with these fascinating creatures.
