Coyote Sightings in Whitpain Township
Tue, May 7th, 2013
The Whitpain Police Department reports that coyote sightings are on the rise throughout the Township. Coyotes will typically run or hide when they spot a human or larger animal; however, female coyotes give birth in the spring and will aggressively defend their pups from perceived threats. If you are walking on a trail or in a park and come upon a coyote do not be aggressive toward the animal. If a coyote is standing its ground, back away and walk in another direction, then call the police department at 610-279-9033.
Park and Open Space Reminder
Thu, May 2nd, 2013
With the arrival of spring and warmer temperatures, many residents are enjoying Whitpain's parks and open space. However, please remember that it is unlawful to use motorized vehicles like AVT's dirt bikes motorcycles, etc. in Township parks and open space. These vehicles not only damage our parkland, but they can also pose a safety risk.
