The American Red Wolf is endangered, but how are we working to save these creatures? Join a virtual program sponsored by the UT Arboretum Society to learn why the Red Wolf is important to our environment.

Tish Gailmard, a Learning and Engagement Specialist at Reflection Riding Arboretum in Chattanooga, Tennessee will introduce us to this fascinating animal. Tish considers herself very lucky to turn her passion for loving animals into an occupation.

“Working and educating with wildlife has become who I am, not just what I do,” said Tish. “My days are spent teaching students and guests about wildlife and their importance to our ecology. “

Tish is a graduate of the University of Georgia and is a Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency licensed wildlife rehabilitator for mammals and rabies vector species. Tish was named the Tennessee Wildlife Federation Environmental Educator of the Year and has also been recognized as a Girls Preparatory School notable alumna. As a passionate advocate for wildlife, Tish is the Education Chair for the American Red Wolf SAFE program, ARW SAFE management team member, and ARW blood champion. She is also a member of the Turtle SAFE program.

The program is free, but registration is required to receive your Zoom link and the recording. The program will be recorded and sent to all who register. Please contact Michelle at mcampani@utk.edu for any questions or registration issue
