Call of the Wild
Sunday, October 19th at 3:00 p.m.
 

The Darien Nature Center is excited to bring Atka, the Arctic wolf, back to the Darien Nature Center on Sunday, October 19th at 3:00 p.m. A fun event for the entire family, tickets are available at the Darien Nature Center . Our last wolf presentation was standing room only and unfortunately, many were turned away at the door. So, please reserve a space in advance.

The Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem , New York , will do a 45-minute multimedia presentation on the history, mythology, biology, social structure and ecological importance of the wolf. They will clarify “fact” versus “folklore” about this essential predator.

The Wolf Conservation Center was founded on the philosophy that personal acquaintance of people with captive wolves builds a bridge of understanding and concern for wolves in the wild. By educating the public about these shy, intelligent and socially complex creatures, the Wolf Conservation Center hopes to promote more responsible stewardship of the fragile ecosystem that supports the wolves and other wildlife.

Ticket proceeds will go directly to the Wolf Conservation Center , which is managed completely by volunteers and funded solely through donations.

For further program and ticket information contact the Darien Nature Center at 655-7459.
