Review for Wolf Timbers, Bolivar, OH, USA
Have been a board member for a number of years. First visited Wolf Timbers in 2001 to photograph the wolves. This is a great educational facility where people can see the wolves up close. Since first coming out I've taken over the web site, redesigned it and now update and maintain it. I've donated numerous computers to WT for the volunteers to be able to use while they're there. WT has a very dedicated core group of volunteers who all chip in to help run and maintain the facility. Their personal relationships with the wolves is wonderful to see firsthand. The numerous public programs WT puts on help educate people about the truths and myths concerning wolves. WT has the potential to be a great educational facility. They have the space to give the wolves an even bigger natural looking enclosure in time as funds become available as well as room for an educational room/building. It takes time and money and staff to get there but I think WT is definitely on it's way. They have a great bunch of people involved with this facility. Since this is an all volunteer facility, any additional funds are always welcome and much needed.

Seeing how the volunteers come together for the betterment of WT
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Stay focused on the intent of WT, to educate people on what wolves are and how we can help them survive in this world. We would truly be at a loss if we no longer had wolves.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
Meeting the people and time in photographing the wolves.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Truly dedicated to WT and the wolves
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Build a world class natural looking enclosure the wolves and us photogs would love. Build a much needed gift shop as well as an educational/meeting room large enough to handle volunteer and board meetings. Promotional and educational material is needed.
Ways to make it better...
I lived closer so I could spend more time there. WT is in Ohio, I'm in FL
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Fund raising and getting the word out that WT is there and what they offer.
One thing I'd also say is that...
WT is a small facility but is growing with the help of a very dedicated group of volunteers.
