Wolf Education and Research Center (WERC)
Focus: Education, Community and Construction .



Project Description
WERC cares for a captive pack of wolves: “The Sawtooth Pack: Wolves of the Nez Perce”. WERC is in partnership with the Nez Perce Tribe, which currently handles the wolf management and reintroduction for Idaho.
The Wolf Education and Research Center is dedicated to providing public education and scientific research concerning the gray wolf and its habitat in the Northern Rocky Mountains.
Having cared for the Sawtooth Pack: Wolves of the Nez Perce since 1996, the Wolf Education & Research Center (WERC), the Idaho based non-profit became a voice of education on the subject of captive wolf care, important ecology considerations, and the delicate harmony between human recreation, industry, and cultures and the vast wilderness that is home to many apex predators, among them wolves.
Wolves are an iconic species that WERC uses to teach about these important contemporary issues with the backdrop of the history, benefits, and threats to all predators. Welcome.
WERC, a 501(c) 3 organization, is a nonprofit partnership between the board of directors and public who support our educational outreach and visit our programs and events.
Operating in surrounding states, WERC has offices in Winchester, Idaho and Portland, Oregon.
