Growing wolf population expands habitat

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The state’s wolf population has grown to more than 500, expanding their habitat beyond a limited area of northern Wisconsin.
David Mladenhoff of UW-Madison’s Forest Ecology department has researched wolf habitat for more than 16 years.
Mladenhoff says that years ago, when the state’s herd numbered less than 100, the wolves lived in northern Wisconsin in an area with relatively few roads.
He says some of the wolves may wander to central and southern Wisconsin, but they prefer more undisturbed areas like the northern region of the state.

Where does it say Milston or Black River? I live in Rhinelander and we have a few packs up here. Is that north enough for you?
