Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is working to hire range riders to help protect livestock following the recent reintroduction of gray wolves.
Drawing from strategies used in states with established wolf populations, these riders would patrol ranches to deter wolf predation.
CPW aims to have a dozen range riders in place by calving season and is currently in the hiring process.
Meanwhile, Rep. Lauren Boebert is pushing to remove gray wolves from the Endangered Species List, arguing that states should oversee their management.
