Data are archived at the Center and periodically analyzed to assess status and trends in duck nest success and develop input for various population models. The file includes information on depredated nests that can be used to draw inferences about the predator species involved. New resources are added constantly. The Minnesota Wolf Project maintains an extensive education program. The wolf is one of America's most controversial animals, and considerable misinformation has long persisted about the creature.
All recovery plans dealing with wolves encourage extensive public education about wolves.
Thus, as part of public-private partnership, Project scientists founded the International Wolf Center, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to deliver objective, accurate information about wolves. Northern Prairie uses the International Wolf Center as its primary arm for interpreting its research results about wolves to the general public. Most mammalian research done by Northern Prairie staff is conducted in the field. A 10-acre enclosure and observation tower, suitable for a variety of mammalian behavioral studies, is located at the Center's Woodworth Research Station, about 40 miles NW of Jamestown. Dormitory, laboratory, and other support facilities at the Woodworth Station permit researchers to live on site during the field season.
