several of the most hotly debated wolf issues of today. The
Michigan Department of
Natural Resources, International
Wolf Center, and Michigan
Technological University are sponsoring this year's meeting
The MWS is an annual gathering of wolf professionals, academics and
enthusiasts from the Great Lakes Region and beyond. From year to year, it
continues to offer a "one stop shop" for gathering knowledge, networking and
collaboration opportunities.
Proceedings

providing updates and information on current wolf management issues, research
and public interest topics.
Sessions at the MWS are informal and are divided into 15 to 30-minute

management or habitat and offer opportunity for question and discussion.
This year's MWS topics tentatively include the following:
- State/province and tribal management of wolves
- Depredation
- Human safety
- Genetics of Great Lakes wolves
- Hunting/trapping of wolves
- Habitat/wildlands concerns
