About the California Wolf Center

Learn about our mission statement, history, and goals for the future of wolves.

Dedicated to Wild Wolf Conservation and Public Education Since Our Beginnings in 1977

The California Wolf Center, previously known as the Julian Center for Science and Education, was originally founded in 1977 by Paul and Judy Kenis.
Starting with just two North American gray wolves, our mission from the start was to teach the public about the importance of wolves in their ecosystem.

California Wolf Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Tax ID # 33-0078906.
Today the mission continues at the California Wolf Center.
