GUEST PRESENTATION: WOLVES OF SOUTHERN ALGOMA – Little is known about wolves in this area. How common are they? How big are their ranges? What do they eat? The more basic question is, what are they? Coyotes, coywolves, grey wolves, or eastern wolves? These are some of the questions that Kees van Frankenhuyzen, wolf researcher with Algoma Highlands Conservancy, hopes to answer through an on-going local wildlife study. Join us to learn about this exciting research and discover some of what has been gleaned so far about these mysterious predators.
