The Wood River Wolf Project would not be where it is today without funding from our generous supporters.
We want to thank the Spur Foundation for its contribution to the Wood River Wolf Project’s student wildlife camera project and our education and outreach efforts. One of the reasons that the Wood River Wolf Project has been so successful during the 2021 field season is because of Spur’s support.
Spur’s mission is to inspire effective philanthropy for the Wood River Valley, Idaho. It achieves this by expanding funding to the nonprofit sector, fostering excellence and accountability, and serving as a resource to donors for information and administration.
