I doubt that they will give you rights to use the images even on the more expensive tour. If they are not selling images in the office or gift shop or somewhere, print and mount a few of your better images from the tour and take these back to whoever is in charge. Make sure that they understand that, give free range, you can make even better images. Offer to provide matted images for them to offer for sale on consignment. They have no risk this way and they control the money. You ask for whatever amount you think is fair and they get to try to sell them for more. Every month, you go back and they pay you for whatever images they can't produce, you replace what they sell. You may have to take back some images that don't sell and you may get tired of printing and matting the same few images that do sell.
You have to sell this as something that is good for them and their project. Not even as something that could be good for both you. You have to tell them, "I usually get $50 for a matted image like this. I can let you have it for $25 and you can sell it for $50 and keep the difference." Even if they go along with this, it might take some time and very good relationship before they will allow you to sell prints through other outlets and make a donation for each image that you do sell. But, you might be able to work your relationship into your other marketing anyway.
Good Luck,

You should see it printed! Unfortunately, according to the rules of the wolf sanctuary, I can never sell this piece. 
However, they were offering "Photography Tours" where you can bring a longer lens ($75 instead of $8) but they're not doing them now. Maybe I can weasel my way into doing that! *with the express condition that any photos I take, I can use for my own purposes, heh heh...*
