Wolf Depredation Grant

ODA's Wolf Depredation Compensation and Financial Assistance Grant Program complements Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Wolf Conservation and Management Plan.  It helps counties develop and maintain programs that reduce wolf-livestock conflicts and assist livestock producers dealing with wolf-related losses. 

Grant funds are awarded to counties to create and develop wolf depredation compensation programs. Under these programs, counties can: 
  • pay for livestock or working dogs killed or injured by wolves,
  • pay those who use methods to prevent wolves from attacking livestock,
  • pay for livestock or working dogs missing due to wolves, and
  • receive money to cover eligible costs for running the program.
