National Wolf Awareness Week
National Wolf Awareness Week is a time to dispel misconceptions about wolves and to teach about the important role these predators play in maintaining healthy ecosystems. It takes place the 3rd week of October every year. Wolf Awareness Week 2011 will take place October 16-22, 2011.
The wolf is a striking symbol of wild nature, yet it has long been shrouded by myth and superstition. Earlier this century, wolves were methodically exterminated from nearly all of their historic range.
National Wolf Awareness Week encourages conservation efforts not only for wolves, but for all wild species.
