MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin wildlife officials need wolf watchers.

The Department of Natural Resources is planning training sessions in November and December for volunteers willing to locate and count gray wolves and other carnivores. More information is available on the DNR's volunteer tracking Web site at http://dnr.wi.gov/org/land/er/mammals/volunteer.

The trackers will have to conduct at least three surveys in blocks of central and northern Wisconsin forests.

So far this year 174 volunteer trackers have surveyed more than 8,000 miles. They have detected more than 367 different wolves.
