Cadets Visit the Wolf Conservation Center

Cadets majoring in Environmental Science visited the Wolf Conservation Center (WCC) in New Salem, NY to learn about the role of wolves in ecosystems and Federal conservation programs. The WCC was established to promote wolf conservation by teaching about wolves, their relationship to the environment, and the human role in protecting their future. The WCC accomplishes this mission through on and offsite programs emphasizing wolf biology, the ecological benefits of wolves and other large predators, and the current status of wolf recovery in the United States. Environmental Science majors were exposed to all sides of the issue to include wolf biology, habitat requirements, and issues for and against the reintroduction of wolves to former habitats.
