PEI Forests, Fish and Wildlife says it’s aware of the presence of one or more coyotes at the Upton Farmlands/Beach Grove trail system — and staff are monitoring the situation.
Reports received to date suggest the animal or animals are behaving normally, though it remains in a highly visible area frequently used by the public. Given the time of year and the frequency of the sightings, it is possible that a den site has been established in the vicinity.
While no signs of aggression have been reported, staff will be placing signage at trail access points to make trail users aware of the potential to encounter a coyote and how best to react to such an encounter.
