Wolf Depredation Prevention

The Office of Species Conservation is not yet accepting proposals for the 2023 grazing season for producers interested in funding for proactive, preventative measures such as hiring range riders, building temporary pens, installing fladry, fox lights, etc. OSC recognizes that each livestock operation is different and has its own set of challenges. An announcement with the total funds available and how to apply for funds for 2023 will be coming out this fall.
