Red Wolf Awareness Week 2024 at Virginia Living Museum
Red Wolf Awareness Week 2024 at Virginia Living Museum
October 20th – October 26th
The Virginia Living Museum invites guests to learn more about North America’s most endangered species, the Red Wolf, and how the Museum is working to protect them. Observe special enrichment and husbandry for our two wolves – Katniss and Hyde and what it takes to be a Mammal Keeper. With a week of educational talks, enrichment toss to wolves, and activities, guests will be immersed in this beautiful species and their impact on the local environment! These activities are all included in daily admission or membership.
October 20: Christel Dyer will be doing book signings from 10-11am at the VLM for her book Lemon and Cedar.
Cedar the red wolf has always wondered if there are other red wolves like him in the wild. So when a plucky cottontail rabbit named Lemon stumbles into his clearing and takes him up on his offer for an adventure, an unlikely friendship is formed as the pair embark on a journey, leaving their home at the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge for the first time. Along the way, Lemon and Cedar meet a seabird on the sandy beaches of the Outer Banks, discover large, winged predators while traveling through a swamp, and have a close call with a four-legged foe in a cornfield. Despite the obstacles they face, Cedar and Lemon persist on their quest, searching for red wolves and finding friendship along their way to the Great Dismal Swamp.
