CAUTION: SICK COYOTES & TRAPS IN AREA

The Town of Trenton wishes to advise residents and trail users that technicians from the Nova Scotia Dept. of Natural Resources & Renewables have confirmed sitings of sick coyotes in Trenton.

They are setting up traps and placing signage currently concentrating in the area of the Airport Route Trail (Smelt Brook Park to Park Road).

Trail users are reminded to always follow the Town’s regulations to have your dog on a leash (per Dog Control By-law No.20). Residents are strongly encouraged to keep pets close to home.

“Be Coyote Smart”

Coyotes are normally shy and fearful of people. When this behaviour changes and they lose that fear, there is cause for concern. Learn more about coyotes and what to do should you encounter one by visiting the DNR website:
