Timber Wolf Alliance

The Timber Wolf Alliance (TWA) was founded in 1987 to provide support for wolf recovery in the upper Great Lakes region.

TWA is committed to investigating the facts, and relies on the growing body of scientific research to dispel myths and unfounded fears associated with wolves.  TWA provides training in wolf biology and ecology, develops and disseminates educational material on wolves, and supports volunteer coordination for statewide wolf population monitoring efforts.
