"Wolves" invade CCEEC

Here's some information about an upcoming program hosted by CCGG's friends at CCEEC.

Carbon County Environmental Education Center Hosts “Wolves”
Thursday, July 27 6 PM

Come and listen to Guest Speaker, Nikki Banfield, and Naturalist/Teacher for Moon Lake County Park speak about her experiences with wild wolves. She became involved with wild wolves at a very young age. She had the opportunity to live for five months with the wolves learning how they communicate and their behavior.

She has joined such organizations as Wolf Education and Research Center in Idaho and has met the wolf she has adopted that resides there at the center. Nikki has also been instrumental in the reintroduction of wolves at Yellowstone National Park.

For more information or to register for this exciting program, please call CCEEC at 570-645-8597.
