Deschutes County is accepting applications from individuals interested in serving as one of six appointed members of the Wolf Depredation Compensation and Financial Assistance Committee.
The Wolf Depredation Committee oversees the grant monies awarded to Deschutes County by the Oregon Department of Agriculture for wolf depredation compensation and preventative measure assistance. The committee makes recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners on fund allocations which compensate ranchers whose livestock or working dogs have been confirmed missing, injured, or killed due to wolf depredation and support livestock management strategies and other measures to prevent wolf depredation.
