Reading from Wrong Tree,Adventures in Wildlife Biology, by Jeff Wilson; we will hear the recent history of the return of wolves to the northern part of the state starting in the 1970s, after they had been extirpated by the 1950s.
This great book was published in 2022 by Cornerstone Press (UWSP.edu/cornerstone).
They were not reintroduced by the DNR, but returned to Wisconsin as dispersing individuals from packs in Minnesota and the WI DNR started to monitor them closely. Wolves and wolf management was and still is a controversial topic. We’ll earn about the first wolf biologists, Dick Thiel, Ron Schultz and Adrian Wydeven and their work. “Wisconsin wildlife belongs to all its citizens and future generations as well.”
