Guild Lecture Series: Wolves in America

Guild Lecture Series: Wolves in America

Holly Hertel weaves together wolf biology, the population comeback of wolves in America, and how wolf studies are conducted during March’s Guild Lecture Series. 

Growing up in cornfield-dominated central Illinois, Hertel found comfort in the nature that seeped through the cracks of railroad tracks and concrete creeks. Inspired by Jane Goodall, but incredibly shy and lacking confidence, Hertel received a rare opportunity to study a wild wolf pack in 1979-81 for her Master’s degree. As one of the first women to work with wolves – trapping, radio-tracking, and observing wolves at a forest landfill – she demonstrated that females could do anything males could do and gained the confidence to heal her own heart.

This exciting lecture about wolves is sponsored by the Friends of the Medford Library, and light refreshments will be served. For more information, please contact the Medford Library at 541-774-8679.
