CPW responds to requests from Club 20 about Wolf Reintroduction
From Steamboat Radio:
On Sept. 27, Club 20, along with Middle Park Stockgrowers, Colorado Wool Growers Association, Colorado Cattlemen’s Association, Colorado Farm Bureau, and 26 other groups sent a Citizen Petition for Rulemaking to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission. They asked CPW to adopt a rule, “that delays the further introduction of gray wolves in Colorado until Colorado’s wolf management program is equipped to handle the consequences of these introductions.”
In the letter dated Oct. 31, 2024, Director Davis says a definition of chronic depredation is expected this month (November 2024). He also says pausing wolf reintroduction would not be consistent with Proposition 114.
