new plan for
managing
wolves
PENDLETON (AP) —
Oregon officials are propos-
ing a new framework for
managing wolves that prey on
livestock.
The East Oregonian reports
that a possible deal emerged
Tuesday that involves ranch-
ers making clearly defined
efforts to protect livestock and
ward off wolves with non-
lethal deterrents.
If ranchers follow those
rules and still lose livestock
to wolves, and the wolves
meet the state’s definition of
“chronic depredation,” ranch-
ers can ask that the wolves be
killed.
Ranchers and conserva-
tion groups have been work-
ing with a mediator to find a
solution.
Todd Nash of the Oregon
Cattlemen’s Association says
the proposal would provide
much-needed clarity.
Sean Stevens of Oregon
Wild says environmentalists
like the idea because it priori-
tizes non-lethal measures.
Oregon officials plan to
develop plans to present to the
groups on Nov. 5.

checked out the arbor climb
event because they were
interested in “trying random
things,” Kastet explained.
Next, said Mulvey, “I think
I want to try — I don’t even
know what it’s called.”
“Hose line,” Kastet
supplied.
Her teammate nodded.
“That. Eventually.”
That sort of experimental
spirit is exactly the attitude
FNRL is trying to foster, both
through competitions l and
through other career develop-
ment events, Hutchinson said.
All of Oregon’s natural
resource sectors are crying out
for experienced workers, and
schools are the places to sup-
ply the need, he said.
FNRL classes and clubs,
combined with competitions,
provide “hands-on education
that can lead kids directly
to workforce jobs or further
education at a community col-
lege or four-year university,”
he said. “It’s what we need in
schools, to help kids actually
see what the real world of the
workforce is like out there.”
