Who would not love to get to know wolves a bit
better? The Wolf Discovery Day is your chance
to go
in-depth with wolves.
The day will
include information about Wolf Park, why we are here and what is our
mission. Staff members will give you
insights into the history of wolves in North America, and more
specifically,
how are they doing today. A walking
tour of the Park will provide more personal information about how Wolf
Park
manages its residents, and all the ways they keep the wolves healthy
and
happy. Learn about how the animals
serve our mission through our opportunities for behavioral
observations,
cognitive testing and their innate ability to inspire awe and
fascination in
our visitors. It is this deep response
in visitors that creates change in the animal and human relationship on
the
planet.
Participants learn about what needs to happen for
wolves and
humans to coexist into the future, and what efforts are happening on
their
behalf in the U.S. and beyond. Finally
the day will end with an opportunity to meet a wolf or two personally,
without
a fence in between you. This up close
contact with a wolf is often the most profoundly educational and
inspirational
moment of the day—no amount of talking replaces the sensation of
another species
acknowledging your presence.
The Wolf Discovery Day is a perfect introduction
to wolves,
and a chance to deepen your understanding of this persecuted species. It
is a wonderful way to get the most out of a short visit to Wolf Park,
and is
also a great gift to a wolf lover.
Must be 18 years or older to participate in
this
