Join us for Ecosystem Guardians, where we dive into the critical role wolves play in maintaining balanced ecosystems and the challenges they face in the wild. Learn about global and local conservation efforts, the threats wolves encounter, and Wolf Park’s contributions to spreading awareness and fostering coexistence. Hear inspiring success stories, like the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone, and discover how howling is used as a tool in wolf research and conservation.
Explore how humans and wolves can peacefully coexist in Neighbors in Nature. Learn about common challenges, such as livestock predation and habitat overlap, and discover innovative, non-lethal solutions like guardian animals, fencing, and sound deterrents. Participate in a howling session to better understand how wolves use vocalizations to establish territory and reduce conflict, and engage in an interactive Q&A to learn how you can support coexistence efforts in your community.
Legends & Lore takes you on a storytelling journey through cultural narratives from around the world, exploring how wolves have inspired awe, respect, and fear across generations. Participate in an interactive howling session that connects their vocalizations to symbolic meanings found in various cultures. See wolves through the lens of art, artifacts, and stories, and reflect on how these cultural perspectives continue to shape attitudes toward wolf conservation today.
