An Oregon Wild Wednesday Presentation:

Looking for Love – The Journey of OR-7

A presentation on the world’s most famous wolf and a post Valentine’s gathering to celebrate Oregon

In the fall of 2011, OR-7 – a wolf from the Imnaha Pack in northeast Oregon – made history. After an epic journey across the state, the 2-year old male became the first confirmed wolf west of the Cascades since the last bounty was collected in 1947. After spending time in the Sky Lakes Wilderness south of Crater Lake, he continued his journey south (now at over 1,000 miles traveled) and became the first wolf confirmed in California in nearly a century!

To draw attention to the amazing conservation success story that is wolf recovery, Oregon Wild sponsored a kids art and naming contest. On January 4, 2012 OR-7 got a new name – Journey.

On the very same day, the first "real" photo of Journey – taken by a hunters trail camera – surfaced in the Medford Mail Tribune.

Join Rob Klavins, Wildlands and Wildlife Advocate for the conservation group Oregon Wild, as he updates OR-7’s historic journey, and tells the story of Oregon’s recovering wolf population. On the day after Valentine’s Day, we’ll celebrate OR-7 and his journey to find a mate in the vast wilderness of the Pacific Northwest.
