Wildlife rehabilitators think so.
In our latest #blog, we explain coyote behaviour (they really aren’t stalking you) and share tips on steps you can take to keep coyotes at bay.

A red fox laying curled up in a pet carrier. The fox has its head raised, facing the camera, with its eyes closed. Its fur is matted and its skin is dry and cracked. This fox has a severe case of mange.
The red fox is lying curled up on a green blankets. Its eyes are closed and its head is resting on its paws and tail. The fur on its face is matted and its skin is showing, cracked, red, and raw.
🦊A rare admission last week: a fox with severe mange. This mite caused condition leads to hair loss, painful skin, and makes it hard to stay warm or hunt.

When we understand wildlife, we make space for coexistence instead of conflict.
#Coyotes have been a hot topic lately, and this month on #CFPL #AM980 we’re diving into the conversation.
📻 Tune in Friday, March 6 at 4:20 pm. You might leave with a whole new perspective.
Screenshot of a Salthaven Wildlife social media post celebrating World Wildlife Day and the theme of medicinal and aromatic plants. The post features a collage: a monarch caterpillar on a green milkweed leaf; blue gloved hands holding an evergreen branch above a bowl of pine needles; and a group photo of Salthaven's Garden Gang volunteers working in a garden field with shovels, soil piles, and potted plants, with one person playfully lying on the ground in front.
Happy #WorldWildlifeDay! We are celebrating the power of #MedicinalAromaticPlants. Our Garden Gang grows a natural pharmacy for wildlife in care. Monarchs rely on milkweed to help protect their young, and some birds use conifer needles to limit microbes. Nature knows best. #WWD2026
