Wolf Depredation Advisory Committee

The Wolf Depredation Advisory Committee meets to discuss ways to assist livestock producers with non-lethal deterrent methods and, when appropriate, the dollar amount to be distributed in the event of a proven wolf predation.  Term lengths are four years.  The committee meets every other month, except May-August, on the second Tuesday, 7:00 p.m. Bartholomew Building, Heppner.  One County Commissioner represents the Board of Commissioners on this committee.
