Wolf Conservation in Siskiyou County: The Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) is State and federally listed as endangered throughout the State of California. Local, State, and Federal agencies and local ranchers and their range-riders, continue to report sightings of wolves in Siskiyou County and where the California Department of Fish and Wildlife have confirmed that wolves remain at specific ranches for weeks to months at a time. In order to conserve wolves in California, deter the potential for livestock depredation, and reduce livestock-wolf interaction, the Siskiyou County Department of Agriculture intends to continue responding to potential wolf sightings and reports, and manage the possible presence of wolves on private lands in Siskiyou County through advocating for non-lethal deterrents. One of the most effective deterrents is to remove attractants, especially livestock carcass piles. For this reason, the Siskiyou County Department of Agriculture intends to lead the effort to establish a pilot carcass composting facility in Siskiyou County.
