Hear some stories. Get your paws dirty. Learn to use your ears like a wolf.
We love to find new ways to explore the world — what better way to do it than from the perspective of a wolf? Some of our programs focus on behavior and biology, while others dive into mythology and storytelling. Want to learn about wolves? These programs are a great place to start.
2024 Update:
Our organization is in “hibernation” as we investigate possibilities of live animal education in Vermont, which is our dream. However, we still have programs available! Get in touch to learn more.
What are our programs like? See some examples below. We can also customize programs to your school/library/community center/ etc. needs. Most programs have hands-on and visual elements and can include storytelling.
With popular folktales like “Little Red Riding Hood,” mythological wolves may seem vicious, scheming, and evil. But there are countless tales of wolves, and in northern and eastern Europe, wolves don’t fit into neat categories like “good” or “evil.” From Fenrir to Skadi, Prince Ivan to the vuchari, explore the world of Norse and Slavic mythology with Wolfgard Northeast. We’ll weave together story and images from the past, and ask, what role do these stories play in our modern times?
Forest, field, marsh, and mountain – humans walk and wade through these landscapes every day. But how do other predators navigate the wilderness? What does a wolf see, hear, and smell? How do wolves walk through the woods? How would these wild places look if wolves returned? Join us for this outdoor program as we ask these questions and look at the Northeast landscape with a different perspective.
Please come prepared for the weather and for travel both on and off trail. This will not be a strenuous hike, but you will have the opportunity to join-in an awareness/stalking activity – so it’s best to wear clothes that don’t mind a hint of mud, a few snags, or pine pitch.
