One of Wisconsin’s most contentious conservation issues will be up for discussion when state wolf expert David MacFarland presents “Wisconsin Wolves: From Recovery to Harvest” during this year’s Charlotte Bates Fenlon Memorial Speaker Series.

The program is set for 7 p.m. Sept. 13 at Mosquito Hill Nature Center, N3880 Rogers Road, New London.


MacFarland coordinates the management of wolves, bears and cougars as large carnivore specialist for the state Department of Natural Resources. After his presentation, MacFarland will be joined by a panel of local experts on both sides of the wolf harvest debate for a question-and-answer session. Refreshments and a chance to interact with the presenters will follow.
