More Wolves in Oregon!

Oregon's Department of Fish & Wildlife has reported two new members of the wolf pack occupying the White River Unit in southern Wasco County [photo].  The event marks the first known reproduction of wolves in the northern Cascades since wolves began returning to the state in the 2000's.  Grey wolves in Wasco County and anywhere west of US Hwys 395-78-95 are still protected under the federal Endangered Species Act.  The US Fish & Wildlife Service is responsible for their protection.  Working in conjunction with the state wildlife agency, and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, the wolves are monitored and photographed!
