NJCS: Insight into Lakota Wolf Excursion with Jim Stein and Patrick Nagle

JIM STEIN, a native to Warren Township NJ, always had a love for animals. Nineteen years ago he left a professional career as a certified General Motors Technician, a position held for 16yrs, to begin a dramatic career change as owner of the Lakota Wolf Preserve in Columbia NJ. Jim was able to provide a safe haven for wolves where they can be free from hunters, roam on acres of land, and live a fulfilling life. His preserve educates the public about wolves and allows them to see them in a stress free environment.

Jim's devotion for the wolves is strong and ever so noticeable. He devotes every day watching over them, right from their adolescent years. The wolves of Lakota have adopted him as part of their pack, this rare bond has allowed Jim to capture them through photography and share with us some very up close and personal mages of a magnificent animal.




PATRICK NAGLE has always enjoyed the outdoors. From the mountains to the ocean, he has developed a strong appreciation for nature, leading him to his love for photography.

Taking photos has given him the ability to open his eyes to the world in a new way, and has led him to teach about and share his photography with enthusiasts across the country. He brings his passion for photography to the consumer to help show that there is always more than what meets the eye.
