ON THE TRAIL OF WOLVES: A British Adventure In The Wild West

A chance to move to the US Wild West allows TV presenter Philippa Forrester to fulfil a lifelong dream of living among and learning all she can about wolves. 25 years after wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park, wolf packs are spreading into areas where their protection has been removed by the American administration. Without it, what is their future where many people resent that they were ever there at all? Philippa vividly recounts her adventures living among the grizzlies, elk and wolves in her new home, and chronicles her journeys further from home to talk to conservationists, rangers, hunters and ranch owners to investigate when and why opinions on wolves became so polarised. The sounds of wolves so close to their new home fed her lifelong fascination with these remarkable animals, but nothing she had learned about wolves from her studies in the UK could have prepared her for the reality of living in wolf country where grizzly bears join children in the playground and Philippa's three sons are adjusting to a wild life in USA while their mum sits in 'Cowboy Café' among the Stetsons and writes. She ignites our curiosity. With colour photos and line art. 270pp.
