For the past several months, Coyotes have been seen in all of the Grosse Pointes including The City of Grosse Pointe Woods. On Saturday, February 20, 2010 a female coyote was snared and removed from the Lochmoor Country Club grounds by a private contractor hired by the City. Tracks suggest one, possibly two additional coyotes are still on the grounds at the Lochmoor Club. Additional snares are in place and are being monitored at the Club.
Residents should take precautions to avoid creating potential problems.
As of Saturday, February 27th, 2010 the additional snares in place on the Lochmoor Country Club grounds were removed. No additional coyote activity has been reported and/or observed and the private contractor reports coyotes are no longer in that location. In the event additional sightings and/or dens are located appropriate preventative steps will again be initiated.
