About Us Chris

Chris Schadler is a Wild Canid Ecologist whose first interest 30 years ago was the Gray Wolf. She earned her Master’s degree from Antioch Graduate School in Keene, NH, having completed a study of the natural recovery of the Gray Wolf in the Great Lakes States.  For 10 years she taught both Conservation and Wolf Ecology in the Department of Natural Resources at the University of New Hampshire while tending sheep on a farm in Kensington. Her farm attracted the attention of the local coyote gang and her attention turned to the study of this fascinating predator. Now her time is spent in the pursuit of the Eastern Coyote, studying its use of our changing landscape and how management policies affect its population dynamics, dispersal patterns and interactions with returning wolves from Canada.
