LIVING WITH WOLVES IN WASHINGTON
Wednesday, July 17, 7 – 8:30pm
@Single Hill Brewing
Wolves capture our imaginations – whether positively or negatively. As a wildlife biologist turned rancher, Molly Linville has a unique perspective on the benefits and challenges of wolves returning to the state. She will discuss the life history of wolves, their current population in the state, the growing social conflict around this apex predator, and efforts being made to minimize wolf and livestock interactions. She will also recommend what folks can do to keep themselves and their pets safe while enjoying trails.
Join us to learn about the return of wolves to Washington and how we can avoid conflicts with this iconic canine.
