DNR updating wolf management plan, looking for input

LANSING, MI— The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is looking for public comment on the future of wolf management.

The agency is updating the state’s wolf management plan, which was created in 2008 and last updated in 2015. Officials say new input gathered on the 2015 plan will help inform an updated version.

They say the four principal goals within the plan are to maintain a viable wolf population; facilitate wolf-related benefits; minimize wolf-related conflicts; and conduct science-based and socially acceptable management of wolves.

Links to the survey and the state’s wolf management plan are at www.michigan.gov/wolves. Feedback will be accepted through January 31.
