Carter Niemeyer is a wolf expert with more than 40 years of experience. He was part of the federal team that reintroduced wolves to Yellowstone National Park and Central Idaho in the '90s and was on the Technical Working Group that advised Colorado Parks and Wildlife during the Wolf Restoration and Management Plan process. He has written two award-winning memoirs about his career with U.S.D.A. Wildlife Services and will be in Carbondale this weekend for workshops and a book signing. He sat down with KDNK's Amy Hadden Marsh earlier this week to talk about wolves among humans and what made him go from Wildlife Services to wolf advocacy.
