 On August 7-9, 2015 Americans from all over the country will meet in West Yellowstone, Montana (Union Pacific Lodge) to discuss, strategize and unite in building a coalition to address the need to reform wildlife management in America.
It's time for wildlife management to integrate the science of the 21st century and the ever-changing demographics and values of our citizenry. The status quo of wildlife management in America is broken and it needs to be fixed.
 This 3-day family-friendly event will feature prominent speakers, panel discussions, live music, education booths, children's activities, local food vendors and screening of wildlife documentaries.
There will be a screening of the documentary, OR7 The Journey, about the incredible journey of a lone gray wolf that dispersed from eastern Oregon to northern California. The film is a journey of survival, connectivity and inspiration for wolf recovery in America.
