Washington Wolf Recovery Plan

On December 3rd, 2011, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife formally adopted a Wolf Management and Recovery plan. The Task Force along with a coalition of conaservation groups put much effort into advocating for an environmentally and scientifically responsible plan.

The Task Force would like to thank all of our supporters who took action to support an environmentally responsible Washington Wolf Management Plan.The plan which carefully balances a scientific approach to wolf recovery with the recommendations of diverse stakeholder groups. The plan adopted is certainly not perfect but we, along with the majority of conservation groups, believe it is a fair and responsible plan - it caters to no particular special interest - and it concurs with most of the recommendations made by the conservation community.

Once again we would like to thank our supporters for making it happen, especially the Washington residents who contacted their elected officials and attended public meetings to make your voice heard. The newly adopted plan is a victory and we hope you are proud to have taken part in a process so critical to bringing wolves back in Washington, thank you!
