The problem with wolves with John Legnard

We welcome Coloradan John Legnard to the podcast to discuss wolves and their repatriation in Colorado. John is a dedicated conservationist and a concerned citizen of Colarado.

The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission approved the final Colorado Wolf Restoration and Management Plan in May 2023, clearing the way for CPW biologists to reintroduce gray wolves west of the Continental Divide and meet the voter-approved deadline of reintroduction by December 31, 2023.

John shares with us how many rural ranchers feel about the plan and some of their concerns. It is clear that acquiring wolf source stock has been challenging for the State and John and many others are asking for a pause while the State gets their cards in order. They have asked BC to pause from the approval and allow for another year of getting systems in place to allow for broader success of the reintroduction.
