Wolf trackers wanted

The Daily Press

The Wisconsin wolf program is looking for a few good trackers. People interested in volunteering to locate timber wolves and other forest carnivores in the coming year and help keep count on the elusive animals can learn how to track wolves during a series of upcoming training sessions.

In Wisconsin wolves are a protected wild animal under state law and an endangered species under federal law.

Volunteer trackers are assigned survey blocks in forest portions of northern and central Wisconsin, and are asked to conduct three or more surveys in their assigned block each winter. Data they gather can be compiled with those of other volunteers to aid Department of Natural Resources biologists in evaluating wolf populations.

A Wolf and Carnivore Tracker Training sessions is set for Nov. 5 at the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute, Ashland, (715) 682-1699.
