Join Falyn Owens, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission Wildlife Extension Biologist, to learn more about the fantastic fox!
Falyn Owens is the Wildlife Extension Biologist with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. She works with organizations, businesses, and communities to find ways for people and wildlife to coexist in our shared world. Her main goal is helping people understand the wild species that live all around us––from birds and beavers to coyotes and bears––and use that knowledge to prevent problems or address them responsibly if they do occur. You might have seen her on the local news talking about snakes, deer, or other common species. She led the NC Fox and Coyote Management Advisory Council and regularly teaches workshops about these ubiquitous canids. Falyn also trains wildlife control professionals and rehabilitators on handling wildlife encounters safely, humanely, and legally. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, foraging for mushrooms, and learning about all the smaller critters and plants that people tend not to notice.
