Wolf Expedition to be part of Summer Reading for Adults

Mark
your calendars now to be at the Alameda Free Library on July 29th at
6pm. As part of the Summer Reading for Adults, the library will be hosting two
members of the Wolf OR-7 Expedition to speak about their project.



In
September of 2011, Wolf OR-7 (named because he was the 7th radio-collared
wolf in Oregon) dispersed from his pack in northeastern Oregon and made his way
southwest all the way into California, becoming the first documented wild wolf
in California since 1924.



OR-7’s
movement through both Oregon and California has sparked significant
conversations about wolf/human co-existence in the region and the Wolf OR-7
Expedition was created to raise awareness of local strategies that are making on-the-ground strides in this area. Using an estimated GPS track of OR-7, the
expedition team will mountain bike and hike across Oregon and Northern
California, creating a documentary film, teaching and leading discussions along
the way.
