FRIDAY, MAY 23

Meet a live wolf at the Mohonk Preserve

When Atka the wolf walked into the room during last year’s Mohonk Preserve Cries Wolf presentation, I didn’t expect to feel anything, but he literally took my breath away – not by actually doing anything in particular; it was just his energy in the room. Between Atka’s presence and the engaging and informative presentation by the Wolf Conservation Center about the importance of wolves in our ecosystem, I got so much out of this event and highly recommend it to others, ages 5 and up.

Mohonk Preserve Cries Wolf is scheduled for Friday, May 23 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Admission costs $5 per person (members and non-members), and reservations are strongly advised. For more reservations or more information, call (845) 255-0919 or visit https://mohonkpreserve.org. To learn more about the Wolf Conservation Center, visit https://nywolf.org.
