Vermilion Community College students assisted with the straw removal, pond cleaning and trenching of the den site, in an effort to help drain an excessive amount of spring snow melt. The students did an excellent job in rainy, cool conditions, while the wolves stayed in retirement eating 3 beaver, and frequently checking on the progress. Maya has been very relaxed entering the pack holding area. This is quite different than last year, where she was hesitant to go through the gate. The pack is very excited to enter and explore the Retired enclosure.
