Earlier today, a coyote wandered through our Westlake Village parking lot, a reminder of how close nature is, even in developed areas.

Though coyotes are naturally elusive, sightings like this are becoming more common across Southern California. Habitat fragmentation, reduced food sources, and drought-driven ecosystem changes can increase their presence in developed areas.

Our Biological Resources team works with clients to assess habitat conditions, identify sensitive species, and support project designs that reduce wildlife conflicts.
