Timberland Regional Libraries The Wolf Radio
Celebrate the importance and beauty of the wolf in our world today. Wolf Awareness week became a national event in 1996. Since that time, Governors from 26 states have proclaimed the fourth week of October as Wolf Awareness Week. We are proud to say that Washington is one of them.
The goals set for Wolf Awareness Week are to create a consciousness of the role that a predator such as the wolf plays in maintaining a healthy planet. The wolf was all but exterminated from most of its historic range by the early 1900’s. Thanks to the Endangered Species Act and conservation groups like Wolf Haven International, reintroduction of the Wolf into parts of the United States has been successful. This is a crucial time in the process to protect wolves as several states are petitioning to remove the wolf from its protected status.
We are offering free 30-minute tours on Sunday the 18th of October, with every tour leaving on the half hour from 12:00-4:00 (last tour leaving at 3:30pm).
October 18, 2009 - Lords of Nature documentary followed by expert panel Q&A 2:00pm at the Olympia Film Society/Capitol Theater.
