"Lah" is an annual project that commemorates the spirit of Hal, a coyote who appeared in Central Park in 2006 and died shortly after being captured by authorities.
Lah illustrates how a coyote might find its way into Manhattan with a reverse human journey out of the city: a hike
retracing a potential coyote-like path through greenspaces. Citing examples of juvenile coyotes that have made long dispersal trips,
the walk averages around 50-60 miles. 2009 was a solo expedition, 2010 a group trip.
