UNDER DEVELOPMENT
This is the workshop where you get to meet with real wolves.
Through an organised trip to the Wolf Conservation Centre in Reading you will be able to spend the day learning all about how these amazing creatures survive in the wild. They have been tracked travelling thousands of miles all alone in order to find a mate, and they have been studied living as family in wild groups. You will get to know their strategies first hand from the experts and if you are lucky you might get a pack to howl with you.
Wolves have been misunderstood and misrepresented down through the centuries - they are fiercely loyal and go out of their way to protect weaker members of their pack - even bringing them food when they are ill or injured. However they are survivalists first and foremost. They have learned only to stand and fight when there really is no other way. They don't care about saving face like humans do and will just turn and slip away into the shadows if faced with danger.
Come and meet these beautiful creatures and learn about how they survive in some of the most extreme environments on this planet.
Please note there is no direct handling of the wolves on this workshop, although you can howl with them. Wolves are not like dogs, they have not been domesticated, and are therefore prone to extremely sharp reactions if handled by people they do not know. Each wolf at the Centre decides who they want to handle them and who they do not. It takes them a long time to learn to trust a handler and some of the handlers you will meet have been alongside certain wolves for a long time.
There is a small shop on site if you want to purchase any souvenirs.
