May 2024 - Wolf News Update & Depredations
CDFW has posted its Quarterly Wolf News Update: January - March 2025 (PDF), a new Approximate Area of Gray Wolf Activity Map (May 2025), and new depredation determination forms to the CDFW Gray Wolf Webpage, under 'Potential Conflict and Depredation'.
During the first quarter of 2025, CDFW confirmed the upgrade of three Areas of Wolf Activity in Shasta, Tehama, and Lassen counties to 'Pack' status. The three packs are the Ashpan pack (eastern Shasta County), the Ishi pack (eastern Tehama County), and the Tunnison pack (central Lassen County).
Thirty-three new depredation determinations have been added for March, April, and the beginning of May 2025. Eighteen of these investigations were determined to be 'Confirmed' wolf depredations. Any 'Confirmed' or 'Probable' depredations are eligible for CDFW's Wolf Livestock Compensation Program.
