With the debate over wolves in Oregon heating up, the timing couldn’t be better.
The documentary, Lords of Nature, has a showing Monday night at the Hollywood Theatre in Portland.
The movie isn’t just about wolves, but rather it’s about the important role that all top predators play in helping the environment thrive and restoring biodiversity.
For example, the filmmakers travel to Yellowstone to show how the reintroduction of wolves has benefited beavers, songbirds, and restored streams.
They also visit my home state of Minnesota. Since being nearly exterminated, wolf numbers have rebounded to where there are now about 2,900 of them across the Northeastern third of the state. That’s more than any state, except Alaska. Turns out my parents live in wolf country, and I don’t think they’re even aware of that. The movie includes Minnesota ranchers and hunters who are working and recreating alongside wolves.
Details about the showing:
- When: 7:00pm, the movie runs about an hour and will be followed by a panel discussion.
- Where: The Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland
- How much: Free, but donations are encouraged.
Oregon Wild is one of the sponsors of the showing.

I hope there is a place for the Phantom Hill Wolf….and for all creatures.
I hope you all enjoy giving wolves the “Disney” spotlight. The truth behind this Disaster called “wolf recovery” is getting more and more attention every passing day. Soon Idaho will be required to remove their wolves and the Toxic waist they are leaving on our state lands.
Don’t believe me? check it for yourself….Wolf Worms are a danger to every person that has pets, livestock or hike or fish on our state lands.
This species of wolf was never native to our region and people saying this is the native species is lying.
This “Canadian”,”Artic”, imported, invasive species will never be accepted as our native wolf. Some people just don’t understand this tho.
