Celebrate Wolf Awareness Week 2000
The Timber Wolf Alliance, an educational program of the Sigurd Olson
Environmental Institute of Northland College, invites all citizens to
participate in Wolf Awareness Week October 15-21, 2000. The public's
interest in wolves has grown even more since the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service this year proposed removing wolves from the Endangered Species
List. The week is a time for citizens around the region and nation to
become more aware and knowledgeable about wolves.
In the last decade, wolf populations have grown significantly in the
upper Great Lakes region. Currently, Minnesota is home to more than
2,500 wolves, Wisconsin is home to about 250 wolves, and Michigan's
Upper Peninsula is home to more than 200 wolves. Minnesota and
Wisconsin are currently nearing completion of management plans for
their increasing wolf populations; Michigan and Wisconsin have plans in
place.
This year's Wolf Awareness Week features the release of two educational
posters highlighting wolf recovery efforts in the upper Great Lakes
region and nationwide. The free posters are available at selected
sponsors around the region and nation....
Indiana Artist Wins 10th Annual Regional Wolf Awareness Week Poster
Contest
"Morning Gray," an oil painting by Indiana artist David Blodgett, is
the winner of the 10th annual Wolf Awareness Week regional poster
contest. The contest, sponsored by the Timber Wolf Alliance of the
Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute, helps highlight wolf recovery and
management issues around the region by honoring artwork depicting
timber wolves in the Upper Great Lakes environment. Blodgett's work,
depicting a wolf surrounded by the autumn colors of a northern forest,
was chosen from among 30 entries representing wildlife artists from
around the region.
Blodgett is a veteran artist who specializes in creating murals. Over
the past two decades he and his wife Linda Crimson have collaborated on
more than 150 murals. Blodgett also creates portraits and
illustrations, and recently has been doing more and more wildlife
painting.
The poster image is complemented by a regional wolf population update
and a collection of facts about wolf ecology, behavior and management
printed on the back, making the poster an educational and artistic
contribution to classrooms, libraries or public gathering places. The
information is especially timely, as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
this year announced a proposal to reduce protection given to gray
wolves under the Endangered Species Act by changing wolves' status from
endangered to threatened in Wisconsin and Michigan.
Wolf Awareness Week will be held October 15-21, 2000. To celebrate,
34,000 free posters will be made available starting Oct. 1, 2000, from
selected sponsors throughout the Upper Midwest. Additionally, Timber
Wolf Alliance is sponsoring two "Wolf Awareness Day" events open to the
public :
On October 15 from 12:30-4:30 p.m., the Volo Bog Nature Center in Fox
Village, Ill., will host a day of activities including a chance to make
plaster casts of wolf tracks, a hands-on display of radio telemetry
equipment that biologists use to monitor wild wolves, and a howling
contest. Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources wolf biologist
Adrian Wydevan will give a keynote presentation at 3:30 p.m.
Limited copies of the winning poster also are available for a $5
shipping and handling fee from the Timber Wolf Alliance office at
Northland College, Ashland, WI 54806. For more information on poster
locations and Wolf Awareness Week events, call Timber Wolf Alliance at

Oregon Artist Wins National Wolf Awareness Week Poster Contest
"Rituals," a pencil drawing by artist Elizabeth Montgomery, is the
winner of the 2000 Wolf Awareness Week national poster contest. The
annual contest, sponsored by the Timber Wolf Alliance of the Sigurd
Olson Environmental Institute, helps highlight wolf recovery and
management issues around the country.
The winning entry, depicting two Mexican gray wolves nuzzling, was
chosen from among 30 entries submitted by wildlife artists from around
the country. Montgomery, who currently lives in Oregon, is a veteran
artist whose work has been represented in over 200 juried and
invitational state, regional, national and international exhibitions.
She has been active in various wildlife shows, benefits and endangered
species fairs supported by the Sierra Club, the New Mexico Department
of Game and Fish and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In 1987 she
was selected by the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque to create their first
official Christmas card. Montgomery also has been commissioned to
create wildlife art for the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge and the
Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, both located in New Mexico.
The poster image is complemented by current wolf population information
from around the country, making the poster an educational and artistic
contribution to classrooms, libraries or public gathering places. The
information is especially timely, as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
this year announced a proposal to reduce protection given to gray
wolves under the Endangered Species Act.
Through the financial support of state and federal natural resource
agencies, wolf organizations and wolf captive breeding programs, Timber
Wolf Alliance and a nationwide group of sponsors will distribute 50,000
copies of the poster around the country to help highlight Wolf
Awareness Week, to be held October 15-21, 2000.
Free posters are available starting October 1, 2000, from selected
sponsors (see the following list). Limited copies of the poster also
are available for a $5 shipping and handling fee from the Timber Wolf
Alliance office at Northland College, Ashland, WI 54806.

The best way to have a wolf awareness weekend is to have a rifle sight in
using targets with pictures of wolves on them.

Russ,
I don't know who you are, and from your insensitive and stupid posts, I am the
better person for such! However, giving even an idiot the benefit of doubt -
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WOLVES??? How can you post such dribble??? Nature
offers many lessons if you are willing to learn. I am certainly NO expert;
however, I am confident that people such as yourself might be able to find some
cost effective therapy by appreciating the benefits of nature instead of trying
to destroy it! Maybe you just have nothing better to do with your life than
attempt to provoke others with your stupidity!?!

Sorry to tell you or should I say burst your bubble but I grew up in Montana with
nature and then I moved to the city for 10 years and got to see and find out about
people like you.
I am now living back with nature again and trying my best to preserve it but
opposing the hideous NON Native wolves that are being turned loose in Montana and
Idaho.
I guess that makes my credentials better than yours, speaking of stupid.
Have you ever been a trapper, "I have", Have you ever been a hunter, "I have" have
you ever studied nature, "I have".
If yo weren't so naive you would look much more intelligent,,," Karen"...

Amazing how you keep reading and posting to my postings if you have me in a
killfile.
But after reading farther down I'm not really sure what you mean by a kill file
since you are a lover of the HATE group JDL.
Is that a threat Karen?
