WDFW offers way to report wolves

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife now has an online reporting system for receiving information about the state’s growing wolf population. Anyone who believes they have seen a wolf, heard one howl, or found other evidence of wolves anywhere in the state is encouraged to file a report on WDFW’s website:

Donny Martorello, WDFW carnivore section manager, said the information will help wildlife managers document wolf activity and build a database on wolves in Washington.

The state’s wolf-management efforts depend on knowing how many wolves are here, where they are, and where they’re going, Martorello said. “By filing reports on wolf activities, the public can help us direct our monitoring efforts.”
