Experience the mesmerizing call of wolves under the light of the full moon at Wolf Hollow’s celebrated event. Join us for this rare, immersive wildlife night that combines education, conservation, and adventure in a stunning natural setting.
North American Wolf Foundation operates Wolf Hollow, a conservation and education program that gives visitors close, guided access to ambassador wolves. The foundation offers seasonal public tours — Wolf Hollow Tour (Summer/Fall) and Wolf Hollow Tour (Winter/Spring) — plus private group experiences that accommodate up to nine guests for a 45-minute guided session. Guides share factual information about wolf behavior, natural history, and the foundation’s stewardship of resident animals.
Programming ranges from routine tours to special events such as the Full Moon Howl Night, a September evening that coincides with Wolf Hollow’s 35th anniversary celebration. That event highlights the foundation’s long history of public engagement and provides a unique opportunity to observe and listen to wolves in a curated setting.
Visits are educational in focus: guests learn about ambassador wolves’ roles in research, outreach, and species advocacy. Private group tours allow deeper conversation, questions, and a small-group format for personal interaction with guides and animals. The foundation emphasizes safety, animal welfare, and clear interpretation to ensure respectful visitor experiences.
By combining seasonal tours, private sessions, and anniversary programming, the North American Wolf Foundation presents multiple ways for people to connect with wolves, increase awareness about conservation issues, and support ongoing care for ambassador animals. Information provided during tours is grounded in factual animal behavior and the foundation’s years of experience caring for resident wolves.
