Description
The Gray Wolf is State and federally listed as endangered throughout California. Local, State, and Federal agencies, and local ranchers, continue to report sightings of wolves in Siskiyou County. The Siskiyou County Department of Agriculture intends to respond to potential wolf sightings, manage the presence of wolves on private lands, and advocate for non-lethal deterrents. One effective deterrent is removing attractants, such as livestock carcass piles, by establishing a pilot carcass composting facility in Siskiyou County.
• The project aims to conserve wolves in California and reduce livestock-wolf interaction.
• The Siskiyou County Department of Agriculture will lead the effort to establish a pilot carcass composting facility.
