Wolf is a solar-powered nature center that provides a sanctuary for unwanted captive-born wolves and horses. We are located in a remote wolf sanctuary near Westcliffe, Colorado in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Visiting
We offer guided visits where you will have the chance to spot some of our 23 wolves and wolf-dogs while learning about wolf behavior, biology, ecology, the stories of our wolves, and (for those interested) the systems we have in place to live on solar power at 9,500ft.
We offer these guided experiences by donation. Your guide will talk with you about the best ways you can support us, whether through a donation or by volunteering. This can be taken care of on-site.
Volunteering
We offer experiential education to inspire the public to become stewards of the earth.
Since 1988 we have provided lifelong care for 125 wolves and 25 horses, facilitated experiential wolf education with over 1 million people and preserved over 400 acres of pristine subalpine habitat. Our community of volunteers from around the world invites you to visit us.v
Short-Term Volunteer
Mission:Wolf has depended for decades on the hard work of our passionate volunteers, who stay anywhere from a few hours to a couple of weeks. Our volunteers bring great enthusiasm for the work we do, and we could not do what we do without them.
Our general rule: If you can find the place, we will show you around. If you don’t scare the wolves or place a burden on the staff, you are welcome to camp out for up to two weeks.
