Laurie Lyman: Citizen Reporter

My name is Laurie Lyman.  My husband, Dan, and I moved to Silver Gate, Montana 5 years ago from Solana Beach, California. We are both retired school teachers.  We had been coming to Yellowstone and watching the wolves for about 10 years. One very lucky day I found my dream house in Silver Gate about 1 mile outside the Northeast entrance.  I had the beautiful Beartooth Mountains and we were only about 20 minutes from the Druid wolves.  I retired and moved out here to watch the wolves full time and have been doing so ever since.  I live my dream everyday.  It is a life long passion and I am so glad that I can contribute whatever I can to help restore this keystone species to its rightful place.

I love letting visitors peer through my scope which is the window of the wild wolf. Sharing all my notes and observations is a huge part of the enjoyment and satisfaction I get out of the work I do every day.  I consider what I do an honor and a privilege.
