“dedicated to the wolf recovery in the wild”
The California Wolf Center is a one-of-a-kind, conservation, education, and research center dedicated to wolf recovery in the wild. Our physical location is 50 miles east of San Diego, near the town of Julian, California. We are a state-wide organization with staff and volunteers also working in Northern California striving to pave the way for the return of wolves in our state. Founded in 1977 to educate the public about wildlife and ecology, the Center is currently home to several packs of gray wolves, some of which play an important role in our educational programs. These wolves serve as ambassadors representing wolves in the wild. We also host highly endangered Mexican gray wolves, now being reintroduced into the southwestern United States. A visit to the Center provides a unique experience involving one of the most charismatic and controversial species in North American history.
I have always wanted to check this place out and finally did. It wasn’t my cup of tea at all. I like the Mexican wolf exhibit at the Living Desert in Palm Desert, CA much better. The wolfs were in enclosures, not roaming free on their large property. They don’t let them hunt for food. They microchip them, take their cubs away from them and “foster” the cubs to wild wolf moms in NM. It just took my by surprise I guess. None of it felt right.
