Wolf Awareness Week 2023: Big News, Great Promotions, and Educational Sessions | Wolf Conservation Center
It’s a moment of joy and reaffirmation. Last weekend, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) field team stumbled upon a surprise – a wolf born and raised at the WCC now strutting his stuff in the wild! Known as m2821 or “Slides,” thanks to a naming contest by our partners at Great Wolf Lodge, this wolf represents a remarkable success story. Born to Trumpet this past spring, Slides was given a chance to thrive in the wild through cross-fostering, a process that places captive-born pups with wild packs. Today, he roams with the Hail Canyon pack. You can track his adventurous journey using this linked map. Navigate to quadrant 16A and zoom in to the cluster of hexagons – he’s in a group of 5 “dots”.
