Thirty-seven years ago, a new chapter in wildlife conservation began with a homecoming unlike anything seen before. The first captive-bred red wolves were released to the wild!
JOIN THE RED WOLF WEEK MOVEMENT!
In recognition of this milestone anniversary, the Wolf Conservation Center invites you to celebrate the eighth annual Red Wolf Week!
Starting September 8th, we're enlisting Wildlife Organizations, Zoos, Advocacy Groups, Businesses, and individuals like you to come together with one common purpose – to raise awareness for the world's rarest wolf, the Red Wolf.
Help us increase visibility for endangered Red Wolves, their importance and plight, and our efforts to recover a species on the brink of extinction. All week long the WCC will share interesting Red Wolf facts, activities for kids, scientific webinars, ways to take action, and more!
Onsite Education Programs
Learn about the mythology, biology and ecology of wolf families (with an emphasis on Red Wolves!) and discover why it’s a special time for packs in North America. Whether the wolves are living on the Arctic tundra or the woodlands of the southwest, wolf families are out searching for prey as their pups grow bigger and bolder! Guests will visit Ambassador Wolves Nikai and Silas as well as potentially behold the WCC’s critically endangered Red Wolves and Mexican gray wolves too.
Pre-registration is required.
Free Webinar
Join the Wolf Conservation Center on September 10, 2024 at 6 pm ET for an informative webinar about the history and ecology of Red Wolves and canids, and our collaborative work to ensure their future recovery.
A recording of this webinar will be available for viewing in our scientific webinar library following the completion of Red Wolf Week.
Free Virtual Field Trips for North Carolina Schools
North Carolina teachers are eligible to book FREE virtual field trips to celebrate Red Wolf Week!
Students will experience a field trip to the WCC from the comfort of their classrooms or computer screens, and will enjoy a 45-minute immersion into the wild world of WCC wolves!
