A group that provides sanctuary for captive-born wolves will give presentations in Port Townsend and Port Angeles on Saturday.
Wolf Haven International programs will be discussed in a Port Townsend lecture at 3 p.m. at the Port Townsend Community Center, 620 Tyler St., and in Port Angeles at 6:30 p.m. at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St.
Admission is free to both events. Donations will be accepted.
The presentations are hosted by the North Olympic Group of the Sierra Club.
Wolf Haven International, located near Olympia, provides sanctuary for displaced, captive-born wolves and offers educational programs about wolves and other wildlife.
Executive Director Diane Gallegos and Conservation Director Linda Saunders will discuss Wolf Haven International’s programs to promote wolf restoration in historic ranges and efforts to protect wolves in their native habitat.
Gallegos and Saunders will update the public on the recent return of wolves to Washington after having been gone for almost 80 years, the state wolf conservation and management plan used for wolves in the wild, their belief that peaceful coexistence can be achieved with wolves and the 48 wolves currently living at the Wolf Haven sanctuary.
The public also will hear about other activities of the Sierra Club North Olympic Group.
