Wolf Timbers in Bolivar, Ohio, is Ohio's unique wolf educational facility that has pure wolves as the sole captive animal. Wolf Timbers was founded as a non-profit organization in August 1996. Our mission is to enlighten people on the true nature of wolves so that a greater understanding of the wolf and the role it plays in the ecosystem is appreciated. Currently there are three North American Gray wolves at Wolf Timbers. All three wolves were born in captivity at Wolf Park near Battle Ground Indiana. They were brought to Wolf Timbers when they were four months old and reside in a natural setting.
The wolf has long been misunderstood and characterized as "the beast of waste and desolation." Such attitudes have led to the wolves decline through various methods resulting in placement on the Endangered Species List. Through educational programs the wolf is now making a comeback in the United States. Wolf Timbers hopes that through continued education, understanding of the wolf will result in furthering this comeback.
