'Ambassador' wolves will visit campus

Rami, Luna, Raven and Magpie, four "ambassador" animals from the Colorado-based Mission: Wolf program, will visit the Cornell campus Oct. 29 at 7 p.m. in Robert Purcell Union for an educational presentation sponsored by Ecology House. The program about the natural history and current status of wild wolves is open to the public, free of charge, and children are particularly welcome.

In their 15th annual fall visit to the Ithaca area, Mission:Wolf wolves and educators also will visit Dryden High School Oct. 28 at 7 p.m., in a visit sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County and the Dryden Youth Commission.

Mission:Wolf is a learning facility and refuge, located at 9,000-foot elevation in the southern Rockies, that takes in pure wolves and wolf-dog hybrids in need of adoption. Rami, a black timberwolf, is making her seventh visit to Cornell and will be accompanied by wolf pups born this spring. After introducing the wolves to the audience, Mission:Wolf educators will discuss volunteer opportunities at the sanctuary. Wolf sweatshirts and other items will be on sale before and after the show.

More information on the Cornell visit is available by calling Ecology House at 255-1094.
