I wanted to share some information on the City of Gloucester Animal Advisory Committee. We are a great group of volunteers who are helping to advise the city on all matters pertaining to domestic and wild animals in the city of Gloucester. We hope to share animal related information with the public and help to make positive improvements.
Since we are in the off-season and the pups now have their beaches back, we want everyone to have fun and stay safe. We have posted some information on our website pertaining to dogs on the beaches, you can also find this on the City of Gloucester’s website.
Dogs shall be allowed on public beaches from October 1 to April 30.
Unleashed dogs shall be allowed on the beaches as follows:
- Good Harbor Beach: off leash even days of the week
- Wingaersheek Beach: off leash odd days of the week
- Plum Cove Beach and Cressy’s Beach: off leash any day of the week
Currently we are collecting data on any coyote sightings in the city. We are collecting this information so that we can document areas where coyotes are frequently seen and identify any conflict hotspots, in order to assist with any education or mitigation efforts.
If you have any experiences please submit them via our website: https://gloucestercoyote.wordpress.com/coyote-sightings/
We have a yard audit on the site that you can follow to coyote (and other animal) proof your yard.
We have monthly committee meetings that are open to the public for any comments, our meeting schedules will be posted on the City of Gloucester’s calendar.
