]]> Carrying the Fire blake@onyourownadventures.com A Candid Conversation on Wolves with Diane Boyd | Episode 2 "We thrill to a little bit of wild in our life... and wolves really are the epitome of wild." - Diane Boyd In this episode of Carrying the Fire Podcast, host Hal Herring sits down with legendary wildlife biologist and researcher Diane Boyd, author of A Woman Among Wolves: My Journey Through 40 Years of Wolf Recovery. Diane Boyd is a pioneer in wolf research, having spent over four decades studying wolf ecology, behavior, and human tolerance in the American West and Midwest. Her book, A Woman Among Wolves, documents her unprecedented life on the frontlines of wildlife recovery. Decades before federal reintroductions in Yellowstone and Idaho became a lightning rod for the modern culture wars, Diane was on the ground in northwest Montana, living off-grid in a rustic cabin at the Canadian border. At just 24 years old, she immersed herself in the lives of the true pioneers—the native, native-born dispersal wolves that traversed hundreds of miles from Canada to reclaim their ancient territory on their own terms.
