WI Wolf Monitoring Program Looking For Volunteers
Sunday, October 2nd, 2016 -- 5:45 AM
Wisconsin's wolf monitoring program is once again looking for volunteers from around the state to help track the animals this winter.DNR Specialist David MacFarland says state biologists and volunteers have partnered to provide informative classes focused on aspects of wolf ecology, population biology and field study techniques. Tracking-focused classes will focus on medium to large size carnivores that inhabit Wisconsin, as well as a few other common mammals. It will also provide the required training and prepare participants to conduct formal track surveys as a volunteer tracker.
Ecology-focused classes will cover the history of wolves in Wisconsin, their biology and ecology, how DNR monitors the population, and state management and research. For a list of courses offered, search the DNR website for volunteer carnivore tracking page and select the "training courses" option on the right side of the page. Or call 715-365-8917 for more information. (Wisconsin Ag Connection)
