The experience will begin at the Wildlife Science Center, a research facility that houses over twenty captive wolves along with black bears, foxes, bobcat, and other northern predators. Students will enjoy a presentation by WSC staff on wolf natural history and behavior. The group will then have the opportunity to study the behaviors of live animals on site as well as engage in activities such a role playing, plaster track casting, and wolf howling. The session will then extend to the Audubon Center of the North Woods. The wildlife facility at ACNW houses birds of prey, reptiles, and amphibians that are used in educational programming.
Students can observe the live animals and learn about their importance in natural ecosystems.
