Note - This course is designed to impart knowledge to students but in a way that is enjoyable and fun. It is aimed at people with no previous, or very little knowledge of wolves. Becoming a wolf ‘expert’ takes many years so this course shouldn’t be seen as a way of becoming that in just ten months but instead a chance to learn more about wolves at a basic level, with the added opportunity to see and perhaps even meet a wolf up close.   Email WWUK Photography by Chris Cray / Tony Haighway © Wolf Watch UK Home Page / Wolf Centre / Adopt-a-Wolf Membership / WWUK Wolves / Join Wolf Watch UK / Visiting The Sanctuary / Payments & Donations / Contact Us / Wolf Videos / Q&A / History / Wilderness Goods For Sale / Notice Board / Meet The Team / What People Have Said / Photography Days / Links / Wolf News / Loopy Files / Notes From Tony / Wolf Learning Course / Art Work Shops
