Wolves — an endangered species – will be the subject of a special program for adults and children on March 4 at 4 p.m. A wolf preserve has recently been established in west St. Louis county by the Wild Canid Research Center of Washington University, and a representative of that Center will be the speaker. Wolves are important to the ecology, and what is usually not understood is that they are not the cruel beasts of fairy tale rumor, but “family” animals who care for each other and for their young. Lack of protection from overhunting is making them an endangered animal. Visitors may see the Wolf Preserve by appointment.
