Kim Holt works as an administrative assistant for a subsidiary of Puget Sound Energy in the Seattle area, but her passion is with Canis Lupus. She has been involved in the wolf recovery efforts since 1999 in several capacities. Kim worked in the field on the Wolf Guardian program, has spent a considerable amount of time during the summers as a volunteer at the Wolf Education and Research Center in Winchester, Idaho, and also experienced some time with Wildlife Services trapping and radio collaring. Recently, Kim has also been chosen to be on the Wolf Working Group by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to help develop a State Management Plan for wolves when they enter the state after delisting.
She says, "I am in it for the long haul. My love and dedication for these animals is unconditional and I hope to be of some assistance in their continued recovery and acceptance."

Kathie Lynch is passionate about wolves and wilderness.
An avid wolf watcher in Yellowstone National Park, she is devoted to observing wolf behavior and helping to document the incredible story of wolf reintroduction in Yellowstone. Her detailed and enthusiastic field notes have helped to inspire and inform the public about the value of saving wolves, wilderness and wild places. Her knowledge about wolves and Yellowstone has been enhanced by the many field seminar courses she has taken through the Yellowstone Association Institute. She also had the opportunity to gain hands on experience as a wolf pup nanny at the International Wolf Center in Ely, Minnesota.

At the annual North American Wolf Conference, she was particularly inspired by the prospects for wolf recovery in the Southern Rockies. As a Wolf Recovery Foundation board member, she would like to continue to educate and inspire the public about all that the Yellowstone wolves still have to teach us and to advocate for the return of wolves to the Southern Rockies.

A career educator, Lynch teaches high school biology and yearbook. She lives in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California, but spends every spare minute watching wolves in Yellowstone!
