Northland has two wind towers, numerous solar panels, geothermal heat in the campus center and library, and furniture made from recycled materials.

With a public presentation on October 17

Adrian Wydevan, DNR Carnivore Specialist
Topic: “Ecology, History and Management of Wolves in Wisconsin, including the new Wolf Hunting Season”
Thursday, Oct. 17 7:00 pm SOEI

Adrian P. Wydeven was born in the Netherlands in 1952, and his family immigrated to the U.S. and Fox Valley region of northeast Wisconsin in 1959. Adrian grew up reading stories of the last wolves disappearing from the state, and the possibility that there might be one or 2 loners left roaming along the Wisconsin/Michigan border. Adrian obtained BS degrees in Biology and Wildlife Management at University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 1976, and a MS degree in Wildlife Ecology from Iowa State University at Ames in 1979. His master’s research focused on food habitats, habitat use, and competitive interactions of elk with other mammalian herbivores. From 1980 through 1982, he worked as an assistant wildlife area manager in northeast Missouri. Adrian returned to Wisconsin in 1982 to work for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources as a wildlife manager. Over the next 8 years he worked at stations in Oshkosh, Appleton, and Shawano. In 1990 Adrian began work as a non-gam! e biologist in Park Falls, heading up the state wolf recovery program, and other programs on non-game wildlife in northern Wisconsin. His title was changed to mammalian ecologist in 1993, as his focus became mainly mammals, especially the carnivores. Since August 2012 his title has changed to Carnivore Specialist in Wildlife Management in the DNR. Along with heading up the state wolf program, Adrian has been involved with monitoring and management of American martens, surveys for lynx, investigations of cougar observations, surveys of other carnivores, serving on the state wolf, furbearer, elk, marten advisory committees, as well as other state and federal wildlife advisory committees. Adrian lives near Cable, Wisconsin, with his wife Sarah Boles, a professor at Northland College.
