Wolf recovery has impacted Ferry County more than any other county in the state. Livestock is the only significant agricultural commodity, and agriculture has been the most stable economic driver for the county. 

 

While there are many perspectives on wolves, it's good to start with the facts and start at the beginning. On this page are the Wolf Conservation and Management Plan, the audio from the Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting in December of 2011 when the plan was adopted, and the data provided by WDFW and WSDA on the funding provided to support ranchers in implementing non-lethal tools.

 

There was a tremendous amount of uncertainty when the plan was adopted, and the only way to understand that is to listen to the Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting and determine for yourself if the promises made to the communities that are recovering wolves have been kept.
