MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) – Milwaukee County Parks announced a program Thursday to trap and ear-tag coyotes on county parkland.
The program will begin in early February and last through March, targetting coyotes found on county parkland in Wauwatosa and West Allis.
Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology’s Urban Canid Project will set live traps, place ear tags on trapped coyotes and release them for monitoring.
Over the last year, Wauwatosa has seen its share of coyote-related problems, with two pet dogs killed by the animals last fall.
