The Buffalo State Sustainability Council is pleased to host a forum on the gray wolves of Yellowstone with Joseph Allen, instructor for the University at Buffalo’s environmental studies program, and his students on Thursday, October 25, at 7:00 p.m. in the Ethel Lockman Newman Lecture Hall (Bulger Communication Center North). Allen led this group on a field excursion in Wyoming as part of the course Ecology of Unique Environments. While studying in Yellowstone National Park, they were witness to rarely seen gray wolf behavior, including a single alpha female taking down a full-grown elk mid-stream and the killing of a trespassing wolf by members of the residential pack. The students documented these behaviors digitally, kept journals during the trip, and are eager to discuss these unusual sightings, general wolf ecology, and how this experience has shaped their education. For further information, please e-mail bssc@buffalostate.edu.
