The queen has arrived! A wild wolf, BEY03F, has entered Sequoia National Park for the first time in over a century.

California’s famous dispersing female wolf, BEY03F, has now officially crossed into Sequoia National Park according to the latest California Department of Fish & Wildlife wolf tracker data — making her the first publicly known wolf documented in the park since wolves returned to California in 2011.

Born in Northern California’s Beyem Seyo Pack in 2023, BEY03F has already made history multiple times after dispersing hundreds of miles south through the Sierra Nevada, becoming the first confirmed wolf in Los Angeles County in more than 100 years earlier this year.

Now, she’s proving something extraordinary: California’s wild landscapes are still connected enough for wolves to naturally reclaim historic habitat.

From the forests of Northern California to the mountains of the Southern Sierra, BEY03F’s journey is becoming one of the most important wildlife recovery stories in modern California history.

The Crown Jewel Under Siege

Despite being a national park, Big Bend is facing the threat of wall construction and militarization, challenging the idea that these lands have “permanent” protection.

Building a wall in this sector would physically cut off the U.S. side from the Rio Grande, effectively eviscerating the heart of the park’s ecosystem and recreational identity.

The fight in Big Bend has created a new coalition where political labels are being dropped in favor of land defense. Republican judges and local sheriffs are standing alongside environmentalists to protect what they call “God’s Country.”

THE PROFOUND BEAUTY AND WILD LANDSCAPE of Texas’ Big Bend region has long-inspired Texans, Americans, and visitors from across the world. The Department of Homeland Security plans to build a border wall through this treasured region, despite historically limited crossings. This is one of the most ...
