On a cold Winter night, a coyote’s howl will travel for well over a
half a mile.

Song Dogs for
Jan, Jr. Naturalists
Darke County Parks invites students in grades 3-6 to join them for the
January Jr. Naturalists program on Saturday, January 23rd from
9:30am to 12:00pm at Shawnee Prairie Preserve on St. Rt. 502 west of
Greenville. The Jr. Naturalists program is a series of monthly programs
designed to give students a hands-on introduction to natural resource
management. Hikes, work projects, and independent study are all part of
this fun-filled nature study club.
The January program will feature song dogs, also known as coyotes.
Students will take a peek into the lives of these elusive creatures,
hear what they sound like, and learn how to differentiate between
domesticated dogs and wild coyotes both by their tracks and at a
distance. A fee of $3 is charged for the program, and preregistration
is required. Students are asked to please dress for the weather because
they may head outside to see if they can find coyote tracks. For any
questions about the Jr. Naturalists program or any other Park District
programs or to register for the January class, please call 548-0165 or
email Hannah Linebaugh at hlinebaugh@darkecountyparks.org.
