<p><span>Celebrate Wolf Awareness Week 2010!</span><br />
 October 17-23</p>

<p>Wolf Awareness Week is a time to recognize the importance of
wolves as part of our natural systems. Each year, the third week of
October is proclaimed Wolf Awareness Week across the Nation. Since
1990, TWA has produced educational wolf posters featuring original
artwork. For Wolf Awareness Week 2010 Timber Wolf Alliance is
producing one poster which will be distributed to schools,
libraries, nature centers and interested citizens. Over thirty
federal, state and tribal agencies and non-profit organizations
from around the country from Alaska to Florida sponsor these
materials and will distribute them to places and people, blanketing
their own communities with information about wolves.</p>

 Charleston, SC<br />
<br />
<br />
 Now in its 28th year, the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition has
grown to be the largest event of its kind in the nation, attracting
over 500 artists and exhibitors from around the globe who present
their offerings to over 40,000 attendees. A 3-day celebration of
nature that has earned a reputation for excellence, SEWE now hosts
the world's foremost experts in wildlife and nature art, as well as
conservation research and environmental education.<br />
<br />
 Established in 1982, the first Southeastern Wildlife Exposition
took place in February of 1983, with approximately 100 exhibitors
and 5,000 people in attendance. Its goal was, and is, to produce an
event which contributes significantly to the economy while
promoting the conservation and preservation of nature and wildlife
through its educational outreach programs and its focus on the
visual arts.<br />
<br />
 The Southeastern Wildlife Exposition is a critical part of the
South Carolina and Charleston calendar. Run with the utmost
professionalism and pride, an effort that began as a small winter
diversion has now become the largest annual event to take place in
South Carolina and one of the most popular and successful events in
the country.<br />
