Advocacy Events:
Visit your State Representative Day!
Oct. 10, 12 noon
Advocate for Wolves and Wildlife protections and let your representative know that you support a strong Endangered Species Act. They will be voting on some huge changes to the Endangered Species Act that can destroy current protections to our water and wildlife.
Oregon Dept. of Fish & Wildlife in Salem,OR
Continue to let ODFW know you care about protections for our state wolves. You can visit their offices or State Park Ranger Stations and chat with rangers about how you support the return of wolves. These agencies normally only hear from hunters who purchase hunting licenses and cattle ranchers who lease the land, they need to hear from Oregonians who enjoy our public lands for recreation. You can ask them to offer a "permit to protect" license to create revenue instead of just hunting licenses.
Summit public comments about the Draft Wolf Plan, the new changes to the Wolf Plan include reducing conservation and making it easier to kill wolves in Oregon. There are only about 137 wolves total in Oregon.
