Founded in 1999, the Wolf Conservation Center is one of the preeminent wolf education and conservation centers in the United States. Located just off Route 35 in the woody hills of South Salem, the WCC is easily accessible, which is great considering the amount of daytime and evening events that it holds; pre-registration is required, so plan ahead. Or, for groups too large to bring to the site, arrange a meeting with one of the conservatory’s ambassador wolves.
