USDA’s Colorado Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) office and Western Landowners Alliance (WLA) are announcing $2.5 million in funding opportunities for agricultural producers in Colorado counties that have experienced significant livestock losses to wolves and other large carnivores. Agricultural producers interested in implementing land management activities including range riding, carcass management and electric fencing  to enhance livestock safety and reduce carnivore-livestock conflicts have until February 7th 2025 to apply.
