Survey on Wolf Depredation Compensation

October 2, 2024

Oregon State University’s (OSU) Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Sciences is seeking input from livestock producers to understand their perspectives on wolf-livestock compensation programs better.

OSU’s conclusions rely on input from a diverse range of livestock producers, so even if producers are outside the current wolf range or have not previously applied for compensation, participation is highly encouraged. The feedback will help researchers understand how producers think about and engage with these programs.

The questionnaire takes less than 20 minutes to complete, and all livestock producers are encouraged to participate at tinyurl.com/yxzpawdw.
