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 When Philippa Forrester and her
nature-loving family moved to the wilds of Grand Teton National
Park, they quickly learned to love the wildlife of Wyoming and
nearby Yellowstone. The sounds of wolves close to their new home
fed Philippa's 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.
And as she and her family settled into their new wilder way of
life, she discovered many locals are not excited about sharing
their land with wolves. Twenty-five 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 that protection, what is the future for
wolves where many people resent that they were ever here at all? In
On the Trail of Wolves, Philippa vividly recounts her adventures
living among the grizzlies, elk and wolves in her new home in
America's Wild West 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.
