ILLINOIS AUDUBON BULLETIN 15 
service. From 30 to 50 youngsters become involved in conservation and 
ecological projects each year. 
One of the most important activities for the club has been participa- 
tion in the 1974 and 1975 Wolf Walks for the Wild Canid Survival and 
Rescue Center. The youngsters obtain pledges for the Wolf Sanctuary 
and walk the ten miles to “earn” the pledges. They start many months 
ahead preparing armbands for the hundreds of walkers, and route signs, 
then place the signs along the walk route. The group is one of the most 
highly regarded in this program to provide funds for protection and study 
of the endangered timber wolf. 
I.A.S. Chapter salutes the dedication of these fine young people who 
spend many, many hours of their time and a considerable amount of 
personal funds in the education of our young citizens so that they may 
grow up with a knowledge in the preservation of our wildlife. We honor 
Terry & Jan Primas with the 1975 R.M. Strong Award.
