Wolf Center Celebrates New Births
A litter of seven endangered Mexican gray wolf puppies were born at the California Wolf Center (CWC) here in Julian, the adorable puppies were born on May 8 and are now being monitored so they can eventually return to the wild. “The now seven-week-old pups recently passed their first health check with flying colors,” said Erin Hunt, Director of Operations at the California Wolf Center. “We are over-the-moon excited about this important contribution to Mexican gray wolf recovery.” The Mexican gray wolf population all but disappeared from the wild 40 years ago, officials said. One by one, the wolves vanished in the Southwest: killed by ranchers, hunted by trappers and shot by government officials. “Our hope is that, someday, some of these pups may be selected for release when they are adults,” ”Preventing habituation is absolutely critical to the success of these wolves if they are to be released into the wild, which we hope they will be someday,” Hunt said. “To help achieve this, the puppies and their proud parents will not be on public exhibit at the center.” With careful conservation and captive release, today there are about 110 Mexican gray wolves in the wild and about 300 in Mexican Wolf Species Survival Plan centers, like our the local center, throughout the Unites States and Mexico. However, human caused mortality is still the number one cause of death for wild Mexican gray wolves. The California Wolf Center consists of a diverse group of people throughout California who all share one common goal; to recover wolves in the wild. Volunteers, staff, interns and the board of directors work closely to ensure the stability of our mission and longevity of our vision. The California Wolf Center is completely funded by people like you. Wild wolf recovery is not something they can accomplish alone, they need your support to make their vision a reality!

Imagine Express A Quiet Riot At The Library
Imagine Express-All Aboard is a trio of pantomime entertainers led by Master Mime, Rosemary Ballard. They will be performing at the Julian Library on Thursday, July 7 at 11 AM for our weekly Summer Reading Program. These mimes are all about telling stories and reinforcing positive life style choices using comedy slapstick, and pantomime in a non-verbal, highly energetic format. Ballard says, “Let us open your eyes to the invisible and your ears to the silent. We'll take you for a ride!" The Art of Movement! The Art of Expression! The Art of Storytelling! It's Fun! It's Emotion! Children will learn by watching, imagining what it being acted out and will be called upon to interact with the actors as they play with the audience. Please join us at the library for this exciting program, getting rave reviews at other branches and a first time appearance in Julian. We hope you will be a part of this entertainment opportunity. The program begins at 11 AM on Thursday, July 7 at the Julian Branch Library located at 1850 Highway 78, Julian. For more information, please contact the branch at 760-765-0370.
