CRY WOLF: Humanity's Love/Hate Relationship with Canis Lupus
Date: July 18, 2015
Fee: $13- adults / $11 - children under 12
The wolf was revered. Upon another time, it was feared. The wolf has been both worshiped and loathed. It has hunted side by side with humans, and was hunted to near-extinction by humans. In her all-new program, Terri Bocklund brings this fascinating story to life in a multi-media presentation and live music performance. As an award-winning singer/songwriter and devoted naturalist, she brings the latest in wolf research to her audience and teases out the real meaning behind the very relevant question, "Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf?" Terri reveals the surprising answer as she lays bare the myths, misconceptions, and controversies surrounding a recovering (yet still endangered) species. Pre-registration is required. Information and registration are available at www.nywolf.org.

Saving a Species – An Inside Look at the WCC’s Endangered Species Program
Date: July 25, 2015
Time: 11AM
Fee: $13 - adults / $11 - children (under 12)
DESCRIPTION: Seventeen years ago, 11 captive-reared Mexican gray wolves were released to the wild for the first time in Arizona and New Mexico. Missing from the landscape for more than 30 years, the howl of the rarest and most unique subspecies of gray wolf, was once again greeted by the mountains of the southwest. The Wolf Conservation Center participates in the Species Survival Plan (SSP) and Recovery Plan for the critically endangered Mexican gray wolf. But what does this really mean? Join us to learn what it takes to help save a species from the brink of extinction. Guests will get an inside look at the process of matching potential breeders, what criteria must be met to recommend wolves for release into the wild, the husbandry challenge of caring for animals that we rarely see and how it feels to help Mexican gray wolves resume their rightful place in the wild. Guests will visit the WCC's Ambassador wolves as well as the WCC’s critically endangered red wolves and Mexican gray wolves. Pre-registration is required. Information and registration are available at www.nywolf.org.
