Hear the howl of Haliburton Forest’s resident wolf pack
Have you ever heard the magical sound of wolves howling in unison? Every Thursday night in July and August we welcome the public to gather in our Seminar Building. The evening will start with a short presentation on wolves, their ecology and their relationships with humans. Our staff will silently guide the group on a short walk into the twilight. When we reach just the right spot, the guide will then howl to our resident wolf pack in attempt to initiate a response. We cannot guarantee the wolves will call back, regardless we do have a good track-record!
Cost: Donations are greatly appreciated, but not required. This is an open event and we do not limit numbers. No registration required.
Important Notes: This event is not suitable for dogs. We ask that you please leave them at home, not in your vehicle.
Want to learn more about the wolves? Head on over to the Wolf Centre to see what all the noise is about.
Listen to wolves, stargaze, and stay in accommodations.
