    Wolves in the West | Bonus | Update on the Colorado Wolf Management Plan

    In today's bonus episode, we get an update on the Colorado wolf management plan from Hallie Mahowald with Western Landowners Alliance. Hallie was appointed as a member of the Stakeholder Advisory Group to ensure landowners and managers in Colorado were represented in providing input to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. As we explored in episode 13, Colorado Parks and Wildlife is currently drafting the wolf management plan. Part of this process involved the Stakeholder Advisory Group (SAG), which was made up of people from the ranching community, wildlife advocates, guides and outfitters, hunters and anglers, and wildlife managers.

    Wolves in the West | 13 | Colorado wolf reintroduction and the great divide

    We've covered a lot this season: wolves, working lands, and some of the ideas and management practices that divide and unite the people of the American West. In our final episode of the season, Alex and Jared head to Colorado, where a ballot initiative, passed in 2020, requires Colorado Parks and Wildlife to reintroduce wolves to the western part of the state by the end of 2023.
