The Wood River Wolf Project is a collaborative of community members, livestock producers, wildlife NGOs, and county, state, and federal agencies working together to use proactive, nonlethal deterrents to minimize conflicts between livestock and wolves.
Since 2008, the Wood River Wolf Project has been helping sheep herders in Blaine County in Central Idaho implement nonlethal strategies to successfully reduce livestock losses and protect native wildlife.
History
The Wood River Wolf Project is entering Year 15 of demonstrating that ranchers and wolves can coexist and that nonlethal deterrents are effective at protecting livestock, wolves, and other native predators.
The Wood River Wolf Project's Project Area includes approximately 282,600 acres of rugged country in the Sawtooth National Forest. More ยป
