Wolves and Weather

Wolves and Weather
A long time ago I searched the Internet and found the website of the UK Wolf Conservation Trust, an organisation formed to dispel the myths and misconceptions surrounding wolves. The centre also raises funds to support conservation projects across Europe, thus helping wild wolves. I adopted one of the Trust's wolves, Kenai, and a few years ago I finally got around to seeing her and the others at the wolf centre. I was immediately hooked and put my name down as a volunteer.

Since then I've been lucky enough to spend countless hours in the company of the wolves and their handlers, learning more about wolves firsthand than I ever did from my pile of textbooks! I've been keeping a record of events at the Trust and every now and then I post a photo diary on TheWeatherOutlook, combining my interest in wolves and the weather. This site has copies of all my "Wolves and Weather" articles, so if you're curious as to what goes on behind the scenes at the UKWCT or just want to see pictures of wolves - read on!

The 2007 update brings news of floods, the latest on the youngsters and other goings on.

The spring update tells the story of spring at the wolf centre.

The winter update features a roundup of all that's happened during autumn and early winter.

The previous update features news of the pups and general goings on at the wolf centre.

Before that, there was a special feature about the wolves returning to Kent for the county show.

Three years worth of Wolves and Weather articles can be found in the archive.

An index of the multimedia files available on this site is now available. There are sound clips of all the wolves howling along with video clips of the wolves at the UKWCT.

Catch up with the wolves! An RSS feed is also available.
