Wolves, once hunted to near extinction, are making a comeback in Washington State.  Understanding how to coexist with wolves is crucial to their survival.  A complex story, Wolves in Washington State examines wolf ecology and management issues as well as highlights the critical role wolves play in promoting a healthy ecosystem.

Incorporating thought-provoking text, map, and wildlife photos onto free-standing banners, the exhibit presents visitors with a balanced approach to the story of wolves in Washington State.  The exhibit also illuminates the important cultural significance of the wolf in Pacific Northwest Native American culture.

The exhibit also includes a touchable wolf skull cast and comparative species tracks, a "frequently asked questions" brochure, and a magnetic "current events" message board with brochure box.  Host institutions may post latest news articles to the "current events" message board.

Wolves in Washington State was organized by the Burke Museum, University of Washington with help from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
