Take the Pledge - Be a Guardian of the Pack

You don’t have to live in the forest to help wolves—you can be part of the solution right where you are. Being a Guardian of the Pack means learning about wolves, sharing what you know with friends and family, and helping people understand why wolves are important. It also means respecting wildlife by giving animals space and never feeding them, so they can stay safe and wild. You can support ideas that help wolves and farmers live together, like using guard dogs, fences, or range riders. Most of all, you can speak up for wolves at school or in your community, reminding others that wolves keep nature healthy. By being curious, respectful, and kind to nature, you are helping to protect the future of wolves in Oregon—and making sure their howls will be heard for many years to come.
