Nancy Warren has always been fascinated by wildlife, but that facination became a passion when she learned the wolf returned to Michigan. She first became involved in TWA by attending a workshop at Pigeon Lake and though she didn’t see any tracks or hear any howls, that workshop cemented her commitment when the group found some very old wolf scat. She wanted to share her experiences and enthusiasm with others and joined the Volunteer Speakers Bureau. Later, she became a volunteer carnivore tracker for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Serving on the TWA Advisory Board is an honor for her because she strongly believes education is critical to the wolf's survival.
