Many people enjoy learning about wildlife, but it is completely different when people have the opportunity to get to know this wildlife up close. The Wolf Conservation Center, located north of New York City, gives visitors the opportunity not only to expand their knowledge of the place of wolves in the ecology of North America, but also to see how these wolves behave in the reserve. What is this place and where to find it, the publication said. Only in Your State.
Many New Yorkers don't know about this gem, but one of the largest wolf sanctuaries in the country is located north of New York City, in South Salem.
The nonprofit Wolf Conservation Center (WCC) works to protect and preserve two types of wolves: the Mexican wolf and the red wolf. Both species are endangered.
Three "ambassador wolves" named Alava, Zephyr and Nikai are in the spotlight. These wolves help conservationists educate the public about wolves and their relationship to the environment.
The remaining 39 wolves (21 Mexican wolves and 18 red wolves) live in the Endangered Species Conservation Center and can be prepared for potential release into the wild.
The Conservation Center hosts a variety of activities, programs and visitor adventures, from school education programs to Wild Night Adventure, where guests camp with wolves overnight. There is also a children's summer camp.

If you would like to "adopt" a wolf and provide financial support to him, you can specify the different levels of membership on the WCC website.
If you are unable to come to the WCC to see wolves in person, the center also runs several virtual educational programs where participants and students can answer questions and meet wolf ambassadors.
If you want to learn more about wolves in North America and get to know them in real life, there is no better place to do that.
The Wolf Conservation Center is one of the most wonderful places to visit for all wildlife enthusiasts. Visitors can meet three wolf ambassadors and about 40 more in the reserve. This is a place not to be missed by wildlife lovers.
Address: 7 Buck Run St, South Salem, NY 10590.
