So when a coyote meets a dog, “it’s seeing: ‘This is a threat to myself and to my baby,’” Parker-Shames said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why coyotes will often go after dogs, even if they’re afraid of the humans nearby. It’s also why keeping your dog on a leash can be so effective in preventing interactions that could put your dog in danger, both because your presence may deter the coyote and also\u003ca href=\"https://coyoteyipps.com/2019/06/24/please-leash-up-coyotes-are-entitled-to-defend-their-den-areas-here-in-san-francisco/\"> prevent your dog from checking out den sites or engaging with coyotes,\u003c/a> which may be more defensive around their young.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our data indicates that if you’ve got a leash on your dog, you are far, far less likely to have a negative encounter with a coyote,” Parker-Shames said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What should I know during coyote \u003ca id=\"WhatshouldIknowabouttheirpuprearingseason\">\u003c/a>pupping season?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Pup-rearing season, when the coyote pups are born and eventually start to get big enough to go out on their own, stretches from springtime to fall, and this is when lots of activity occurs, Parker-Shames said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Coyotes are creating dens, having pups, and then the pup is getting bigger and starting to get a little bit more independent and curious and exploring the spaces around them,” Parker-Shames said. “And then eventually, [the pups are] starting to be fully independent and dispersing and trying to find their own territories.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12046819\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1003px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12046819 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/alphamale_InfantryTerraceMay2020DH.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1003\" height=\"753\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/alphamale_InfantryTerraceMay2020DH.png 1003w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/alphamale_InfantryTerraceMay2020DH-160x120.png 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1003px) 100vw, 1003px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Near the main denning area in the Presidio, a few trails are currently closed preemptively during the height of pupping season. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of The Presidio Trust)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>What hikers and dog walkers should know: Pupping season is also when coyote parents can be more protective of their pups, Mason said. Plus, with kids out of school, more people are out on trails, so sightings can be common.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you notice a coyote trailing you, that’s a behavior known as “escorting,” when the animal “follows at a closer distance than usual to encourage departure from the area,” Mason said. And while the parent may bare its teeth or growl, escorting isn’t typically aggressive — the coyote is usually just making sure you’re heading out of the vicinity of its pups. “The best course of action is to leave the area calmly and without running,” Mason advised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Near the main denning area in the Presidio, \u003ca href=\"https://presidio.gov/visit/dogs-in-the-presidio\">a few trails are currently closed preemptively\u003c/a> during the height of pupping season, with some closed only to dogs.

So if you want to avoid an interaction, keep your dog leashed and any kids close by — and don’t go off-trail into their natural hiding spots, like brush. Do not ever feed a coyote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12046817\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 964px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12046817 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/alphafemale_InfantryTerrace_March2020DH.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"964\" height=\"721\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/alphafemale_InfantryTerrace_March2020DH.png 964w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/alphafemale_InfantryTerrace_March2020DH-160x120.png 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 964px) 100vw, 964px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Coyotes are more active at dawn or dusk and will usually observe people from afar, East Bay Regional Parks spokesperson Dave Mason said.

Never let your dog play or chase a coyote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cats are also at risk of being killed by coyotes, so keeping them indoors can prevent any encounters.

"content": "\u003cp>For the fourth year in a row, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/national-parks\">the National Park Service\u003c/a> is making \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/subjects/npscelebrates/juneteenth.htm\">entry to all national parks free on Juneteenth\u003c/a> after it was recognized as a federal holiday in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to Nick Collins, who created the Black-led East Bay hiking group \u003ca href=\"https://the510hikers.org/\">510 Hikers\u003c/a>, the real connection between Black liberation and the outdoors sits deeper than a one-day outing in a park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s about reclaiming our spaces, it’s about the connection with nature, it’s about the healing,” Collins said. “It’s about providing a platform to allow people to be welcome and invited and feel like they’re a part of a space that they can live healthy in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a Black kid growing up in the East Bay with outdoorsy parents, Collins said he often found himself one of the only people of color in these spaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a 10-year-old, you don’t really think much about it,” he said. “You’re more interested in the insects and finding snakes and little reptiles than you are in counting the number of Black people that are there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as he got older, Collins said he began to see the lack of people of color in the outdoor spaces he frequented for the issue that it was. “\u003ca href=\"https://www.ebparks.org/parks?field_park_activities=All&city=450\">The local parks that are in Oakland \u003c/a>are minutes away from areas in the city that are highly populated with people of color,” he said. “And I wanted to start finding out the reasons behind the barriers keeping people of color from getting to these hiking places.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=arts_13976970 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/20240619_JuneteenthCookout_GC-5_qed-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, in 2014, Collins founded \u003ca href=\"https://the510hikers.org/\">510 Hikers\u003c/a>, whose mission is to get more Black people out onto trails and in wild places — and critically, to build “community and connection,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once Collins started organizing hikes every Saturday all across the Bay Area, what he found wasn’t a financial barrier, but a comfort one, he said. And one key element was allowing folks “to feel like they didn’t have to leave their neighborhood to go on a hike,” he said — because “the neighborhood sometimes \u003cem>isn’t \u003c/em>the physical space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes the neighborhood is the people that are around you,” Collins said. “So I said, ‘Hey, let’s bring the neighborhood to the outdoors. Let’s bring the ‘hood to the woods.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>‘We’re out here’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After over a decade, 510 Hikers is still going strong today, with outings nearly every single weekend. (“We’ve hiked every trail in the Bay Area,” Collins said.) The group doesn’t just hike, either — they’ve organized community 5K runs, American River floats and trips all across the Bay Area and far beyond, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/DKvB3zVBvhE/?hl=en\">a recent trek up Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/events/4200716470185145\"> their next Saturday event, on June 21 at 8:15 a.m.\u003c/a> at \u003ca href=\"https://www.ebparks.org/parks/sibley-volcanic\">Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve\u003c/a> in the Oakland Hills, wasn’t originally marked as a Juneteenth hike, it doesn’t have to be, Collins said — because “we’re out here every week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, Collins said he plans to take a moment and say a few words to kick off the hike, inviting hikers to reflect on the weight of the last 200 years of history to today that led to them sharing a morning outdoors together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Freedom isn’t free,” he said. “And we owe it to our ancestors to love each other and be a community and hike in and enjoy nature.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just a couple of generations ago, we wouldn’t have even been allowed to gather the way we’re gathering now,” he said. “We have to let that sink in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Jump straight to: \u003ca href=\"#A\">More Juneteenth events hosted by local BIPOC groups in the Bay Area.\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Collins frequently begins each hike with a get-to-know-you activity — as it’s so often the people, not the place, that gives these hikes their purpose. If you leave a hike without several new friends and connections, “you missed out,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s well aware of the ripple effect his group has had among hikers of all ages, who tell him they’ve found motivation to lead a more active life and be more in tune with the world and the community around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For a lot of us, this is more than just gathering up and hiking together,” he said. “We understand the impact we’ve had in the Bay Area. We understand the impact we’ve had with each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It goes beyond safety — there’s a pridefulness,” Collins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s also committed to promoting the physical and mental health benefits of hiking and being outside, saying that “hiking is kind of like putting vegetables in spaghetti.” He often starts hikes by encouraging participants to close their eyes, put one hand over their heart, and focus on their breath and the sounds of nature around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12044209\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width:

And one key element was allowing folks “to feel like they didn’t have to leave their neighborhood to go on a hike,” he said — because “the neighborhood sometimes \u003cem>isn’t \u003c/em>the physical space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes the neighborhood is the people that are around you,” Collins said. “So I said, ‘Hey, let’s bring the neighborhood to the outdoors. Let’s bring the ‘hood to the woods.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>‘We’re out here’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After over a decade, 510 Hikers is still going strong today, with outings nearly every single weekend. (“We’ve hiked every trail in the Bay Area,” Collins said.) The group doesn’t just hike, either — they’ve organized community 5K runs, American River floats and trips all across the Bay Area and far beyond, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/DKvB3zVBvhE/?hl=en\">a recent trek up Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/events/4200716470185145\"> their next Saturday event, on June 21 at 8:15 a.m.\u003c/a> at \u003ca href=\"https://www.ebparks.org/parks/sibley-volcanic\">Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve\u003c/a> in the Oakland Hills, wasn’t originally marked as a Juneteenth hike, it doesn’t have to be, Collins said — because “we’re out here every week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, Collins said he plans to take a moment and say a few words to kick off the hike, inviting hikers to reflect on the weight of the last 200 years of history to today that led to them sharing a morning outdoors together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Freedom isn’t free,” he said. “And we owe it to our ancestors to love each other and be a community and hike in and enjoy nature.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just a couple of generations ago, we wouldn’t have even been allowed to gather the way we’re gathering now,” he said. “We have to let that sink in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Jump straight to: \u003ca href=\"#A\">More Juneteenth events hosted by local BIPOC groups in the Bay Area.\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Collins frequently begins each hike with a get-to-know-you activity — as it’s so often the people, not the place, that gives these hikes their purpose. If you leave a hike without several new friends and connections, “you missed out,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s well aware of the ripple effect his group has had among hikers of all ages, who tell him they’ve found motivation to lead a more active life and be more in tune with the world and the community around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For a lot of us, this is more than just gathering up and hiking together,” he said. “We understand the impact we’ve had in the Bay Area. We understand the impact we’ve had with each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It goes beyond safety — there’s a pridefulness,” Collins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s also committed to promoting the physical and mental health benefits of hiking and being outside, saying that “hiking is kind of like putting vegetables in spaghetti.” He often starts hikes by encouraging participants to close their eyes, put one hand over their heart, and focus on their breath and the sounds of nature around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12044209\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width:

"content": "\u003cp>The family of a man who was tased by an East Bay Regional Parks District police officer earlier this year and still remains comatose is suing the park district, Alameda County, and the two officers involved in the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal civil rights lawsuit was filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, roughly six months after EBRPD officer Jonathan Knea tased Deontae Faison, a 35-year-old Black man from San Francisco, while he was wading into the estuary at Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline in Oakland. Faison was unarmed during the incident on April 5, according to his attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faison, a father of two boys, has been in a coma and on life support in a local hospital since the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They tased him in the back multiple times — while in water — which is against all police policy,” Jamir Davis, the attorney representing Faison’s family, said at a Tuesday press conference. “After that, they stood on the bank of the estuary for over 30 minutes and watched him struggle for his life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit alleges that the officers deprived Faison of his constitutional rights by using unreasonable and excessive force. It also alleges that the officers violated several state laws, including one protecting citizens from threats, intimidation or coercion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faison, the complaint states, was “physically, mentally and emotionally injured as a direct and proximate result of the brutal attack on his person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>EBRPD told KQED that, while it does not comment on pending litigation, “our hearts go out to Mr. Faison and his family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZBWQd-P_buMa0meUSS2HlZeWfS-lMn_w/view?usp=drive_link\">The body cam footage of the incident\u003c/a> also shows officers Knea and Roberto Filice approaching the van that Faison was in, which the officers checked on because of expired tags.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related stories\" tag=\"police-use-of-force\"]Knea instructed Faison and his female companion to sit on the bumper of the van. When asked, Faison said he was not the owner of the van and gave the officers an alias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The complaint from Faison’s family emphasizes that the woman, whose identity remains undisclosed, was not questioned or addressed by the officers during the initial interaction — alleging that “Knea treated Deontae’s friend much differently because she was white.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the officers continued questioning Faison after failing to identify him in their database, Faison fled the scene, according to the body cam footage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Knea withdraws his gun, Faison begins wading into the estuary, prompting Knea to repeatedly deploy a Taser into his back, causing Faison to flail in the water for roughly 30 minutes until losing consciousness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the body cam footage, Knea said, “He is not going to make it,” as the two officers watched Faison struggle to breathe or move in the water. They eventually pull him onto the shore, watching him for about 15 minutes as he briefly regains consciousness and struggles to breathe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They go through life-saving CPR training in order to respond appropriately in a situation like this,” Adante Pointer, a civil rights attorney working with the firm representing Faison, told reporters at the briefing. “As opposed to being the heroes that we like to believe they are, they stood there, hands in their pockets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The complaint alleges that Knea and Filice left before paramedics arrived at the scene, failing to inform them that Faison had been tased while in the water or to provide them with any other crucial information about his injuries. It also claims that officers filed a report two days after the incident, one that made no mention of Knea deploying his Taser on Faison. It said they believed Faison was armed with a gun and recommended charges be filed against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the \u003ca class=\"c-link\" href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tK3vfkdsaOPvJeZ97F-uoWQHCW_kLJhq/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tK3vfkdsaOPvJeZ97F-uoWQHCW_kLJhq/view?usp=sharing\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">incident report\u003c/a>, “No” is checked in response to the question of whether there was any use of force on the officers’ part.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12010640\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2788px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Screen-Shot-2024-10-22-at-5.35.48-PM.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12010640 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Screen-Shot-2024-10-22-at-5.35.48-PM.png\" alt=\"Someone pointing a Taser at a man in the water.\" width=\"2788\" height=\"1682\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Screen-Shot-2024-10-22-at-5.35.48-PM.png 2788w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Screen-Shot-2024-10-22-at-5.35.48-PM-800x483.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Screen-Shot-2024-10-22-at-5.35.48-PM-1020x615.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Screen-Shot-2024-10-22-at-5.35.48-PM-160x97.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Screen-Shot-2024-10-22-at-5.35.48-PM-1536x927.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Screen-Shot-2024-10-22-at-5.35.48-PM-2048x1236.png 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/Screen-Shot-2024-10-22-at-5.35.48-PM-1920x1158.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2788px) 100vw, 2788px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Body cam footage of East Bay Regional Parks officer Jonathan Knea aiming a Taser at Deontae Faison as Faison wades into the estuary at Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline in Oakland on April 5, 2024. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the Faison family, via the EBRPD Police Department)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The complaint includes graphic photos from the body cam footage and disturbing pictures of Faison’s Taser wounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers also reportedly allowed Faison’s friend to leave the scene with just a citation and did not request a witness statement from her, the complaint alleges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiff’s complaint in the lawsuit contains a slew of allegations against the officers, including that they disposed of Faison’s clothes and concealed evidence, failed to report their actions and deleted portions of the body cam footage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He is now unable to speak.

Securing Point Molate within the East Bay Regional Park District is not only an incredible environmental victory, it will also reawaken the area’s significant cultural history, which includes Native sacred sites, a historic Chinese fishing camp, a historic wine port and America’s last whaling station.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Over the next three decades, Helena and other \u003ca href=\"http://mazzariellolabyrinth.orgfree.com/\">Friends of the Labyrinth\u003c/a>, have worked to maintain the pattern.

In the process, the volcano folded over.

She would often hike there with her pet goat. Together they’d wander down to the bottom of the quarry. One day she decided to build a labyrinth out of mud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A labyrinth is one of the oldest contemplative transformational tools that mankind used for centuries,” she explained. It’s not the same as a maze — that’s something you get lost in. A labyrinth is a type of walking meditation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a labyrinth; it is unicursal,” she said, “so there’s one way in and one way out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Helena didn’t expect the labyrinth to last. In fact, when the rains came that year, she headed over to Sibley to see what had happened to her creation. When she got there, she found other visitors had laid rocks on the mud lines she’d drawn, keeping the labyrinth’s shape. Over the next three decades, Helena and other \u003ca href=\"http://mazzariellolabyrinth.orgfree.com/\">Friends of the Labyrinth\u003c/a>, have worked to maintain the pattern. It has become one of the most famous labyrinths in the Bay Area, with Helena’s name appearing on some maps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The East Bay Regional Park District doesn’t condone rogue labyrinth builders, but this one has been there so long, and is tended with such care, that they look the other way. It even brings visitors to the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11876400\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11876400\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/Sibley-sunset.jpg\" alt=\"View of the sun setting over the bay from Sibley's hilltops.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/Sibley-sunset.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/Sibley-sunset-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/Sibley-sunset-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/Sibley-sunset-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/Sibley-sunset-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">View of the sun setting over the bay from Sibley’s hilltops. \u003ccite>(Bourke MacDonald)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As the sun started to set, turning the distant bay a glassy blue-gray, Bourke, Michael and I headed down the mountain.
