The American Red Wolf Research and Conservation Center
Welcome to the Red Wolf Renaissance Fair!
The Red Wolf Renaissance Fair is creating a day of merriment in recognition of the purposed American Red Wolf Conservation and Research Center at Craighead Forest Park. The 5-million-dollar project would serve as an ecotourism center, attracting visitors from all over the region. Our goal is to raise awareness for the ARWCRC, showcase the Jonesboro community, and to create a fun-filled family event!

The American Red Wolf Conservation and Research Center will provide secure enclosures capable of housing 12 or more red wolves. Once native to the entire Southeastern United States, about 28 to 31 wild Red Wolves remain today, found only along the coast of North Carolina. Additionally, about 280 individuals are managed in breeding programs under the American Red Wolf Species Survival Plan according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
