These are interesting times for wolves as well as their advocates & detractors

Though still home to less than 20 wolves, Oregon’s wolf plan is up for review, a Montana judge holds the fate of the species in his hands, and both wildlife advocates & wolf opponents are gearing up for a fight. No wonder the cover of Nat’l Geographic was recently emblazoned with the headline “Wolf Wars”.

Bring a friend, grab a beverage, and head on down to Roots brewpub to meet George Wuerthner. George is an ecologist, acclaimed author, & photographer with a long history in western wolf recovery. He’ll share lessons learned from the return of wolve in the Northern Rockies and discuss the potential for recovery in Oregon.

Oregon Wild will also share their efforts to protect wolves and the big wild places they and their prey need to thrive.
