Table of Contents

The largest population of timber wolves remaining in the United States (excluding Alaska) lives in northern Minnesota. Many of these wolves inhabit the Superior National Forest, so protecting the habitat of this endangered species is largely a Forest Service responsibility.

As the "Age of Ecology" broadens into the 1970's, wolves and wolf habitat will become a subject of concerted research. Forest land managers will have to know more about how the timber wolf fits into a forest system. Building on nearly 50 years of research in northern forests, we at the North Central Station intend to expand our studies of wildlife habitat. We are happy to publish the enclosed papers as one step in this direction.
