At Wolf Park you will be within reach of many sources of education. However, if you want to learn you will have to make efforts to study by yourself.
There are two "libraries" at the park, one of which is available 24 hours a day. Interns are encouraged to make good use of the resources available to them.

Research Projects

There is also the option to carry out your own research project at the park. Every project must be approved by Pat Goodmann, the parks senior researcher, before you start your internship. It is important to bear in mind that the interns are relied on heavily to do other work around the park to keep it running so time is very much limited with regards to observation time.

The staff are always willing to answer questions and help with other study interests such as training, conservation, communicating science and many more. Interns usually meet once a week with the parks' founder, Dr Erich Klinghammer, and discuss what they are learning and ask any questions.

Structured Education

When the park is quiet and there are no major projects going on (for example, bison wrangling, trenching, building enclosures), there is sometimes scheduled education time with various members of staff.
The theme varies from clicker training (theory and practical) to behaviour and emotion to conservation.

Other Education

As an intern, you will need to learn basic facts about wolves and other canines so that you can answer questions from the public and take tours.

There is also a great deal of oppertunity to learn more about maintenance work such as building enclosures, putting in plumbing and electricity for enclosures so that they are animal-safe, how to fix lawn-mowers and weedwackers etc.
