God Save the Queen

by Shirley Jackson

After mass wolf extermination campaigns sweeping the United States, by the 1920s wolves were completely eradicated from the state of California. But in 2011, a wolf named Journey (tagged as OR-7) traveled southwest over 1,000 miles from Oregon to Northern California making him the first confirmed wild wolf in the state since 1924.

In the summer of 2023, a direct descendant of Journey was discovered to be roaming in the Sequoia National Forest within a pack of her own. This is the farthest south a wolf pack has been seen in the state of California.

The wolves are coming home;

May they be blessed and protected from all harm.
