Yellowstone Wolves: A Quarter Century of Research and Observations
Presentations are Wednesdays at 6pm at Roaring Fork High School in Carbondale, CO, and Thursdays at 6pm at ACES at Hallam Lake, in Aspen, CO.
About the Presentation
After the reintroduction of gray wolves (Canis Lupus) back into Yellowstone National Park in 1995, researchers have observed and studied their behavior, gaining invaluable data over the last three decades. Taylor Rabe works as a biological technician for the Yellowstone Wolf Project. She spends her days radio tracking and observing radio-collared wolves, while also sharing her knowledge, spotting scope, and sightings with the millions of park visitors. Through incredible video and photos, Taylor will highlight the struggles, successes, and social dynamics within wolf families – all gathered through visual observations from the ground and air. Taylor hopes to share the stories, data collected, and controversies surrounding Yellowstone Wolves, and their future going forward.
