Oregon Wolf Education Organization

Oregon Wolf Education Organization

In 2011 a group of Oregon’s Wallowa County ranching women created an organization to help educate the public about the impact of the Canadian Gray Wolves on the Pacific Northwest livestock industry.??

Kerry Tienhaara TenHAIRA is one of the founders of the Oregon Wolf Education. She also does a weekly wolf radio show on one of AgInfo’s radio stations, KWVR in Enterprise, Oregon.??Tienhaara shares

Tienhaara: “We attend meetings, make our position heard in those meetings. We have put on symposiums where we show a video and we just talk to a group. If a group invites us we go, we speak, put out our information and usually have a very lively question and answer period. We feel we can reach a lot of people just by telling them the truth.”??

The organization has given presentations to groups in Oregon and Central and Eastern Washington as well. She stresses that it is important to share with information and science with elected officials too.??

Tienhaara: “Another avenue is reaching the politicians as they are ones who hold the key to a lot of what goes on. We need to be able to give them the scientific evidence of the Canadian Gray wolf not being a native wolf to Oregon.”

The organization has both a Face book page and website as Tienhaara shares.??Tienhaara: “It is wolfed -- www.wolfed.org.”
