Meetings are planned for wolf management
The Colorado Division of Wildlife has planned six forums in March to collect public input on developing a wolf management plan. Wildlife officials are working on the plan because the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wants to delist Rocky Mountain gray wolves in the area and turn management control over to states.
Wildlife officials say it is only a matter of time before wolves migrate back into Colorado. Gray wolves were eradicated from the state in the 1930s.
Meetings will be conducted Tuesday in Fort Collins, Thursday in Durango, March 18 in Grand Junction, March 19 in Craig, March 22 in Pueblo and March 25 in Denver. For information, see the Gray Wolf Guidelines at (wildlife.state.co.us/species_cons/GrayWolf/).
