The board of directors has been hard at work this spring and summer planning a future wolf center for Southern Vermont. What’s a wolf center, you say? Glad you asked! It’s a refuge for captive wolves — ambassadors for wild wolves — that can teach more in a simple gaze or a distant howl than any book or presentation. We want to create a spacious home for a handful of captive wolves to be the capstone of our educational programs — both traveling and on-site. Our programs on myth, lore and our science-based presentations will complement the wolf center.
We’ve recently finished a feasibility and cost report for this center, and we look forward to sharing more with you as embark on this new chapter for Wolfgard. We’re hoping to share a lot more in September in October!
In the meantime, we’ve got an upcoming program at the Dover Free Library (very soon — Saturday August 6th at 12:30), please join us for the discussion-based program “The Wild Within, Understanding the Wolf in Human Culture.” It’s a great place to ask any questions you have about wolf stories or jump into a dialogue about wolves in the Northeast.
We’ll also be at the Southern Vermont Wildlife Festival in September — more information upcoming about that event.
Want a Wolfgard Northeast program at your school, library, or an outdoor-based program? Get in touch! Starting in October (and in a limited capacity in September) we are available to come teach, tell stories, and get our paws dirty out in the woods.
