Mother Lode State Senator Working To Reduce Wolf And Rancher Conflict

From My Mother Lode.com:

Sonora, CA – Mother Lode State Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil (R-Jackson) is being praised for working to reduce the conflict between ranchers and wolves. Amid a rise in wolf populations, as earlier reported here, Republican Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil has pushed to protect California’s ranchers, with earlier this year securing $600,000 in the state budget to fund the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) Wolf-Livestock Compensation Program, where ranchers are compensated when wolves prey on their livestock.

“The return of wolves to California marks an important milestone for wildlife restoration. But it brings challenges for our hardworking ranchers, who are essential in feeding our communities and supporting the state’s agriculture industry,” said Senator Alvarado-Gil.
