PROGRAM: “Navigating The Oceans of Emotions: The Management of Wolves in Northern Idaho”

Jim Hayden, Regional Wildlife Manager of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, will talk about the recent history and management of wolves in Idaho’s five northernmost counties. Here in Idaho’s Panhandle, wolves are a mix of those finding their way naturally to the area, and the progeny of those resulting from the transplant into the central part of the state. Jim will discuss this history, and the gap between function and form in managing this apex predator in populated areas.
