Wolf-Livestock Compensation Grant Program

The Wolf-Livestock Compensation Grant Program, issued by California State Grants, aims to support livestock producers in California affected by wolves. The program focuses on three key areas: compensating for direct livestock losses due to wolf depredation, funding the use of nonlethal deterrent methods to prevent such losses, and addressing indirect impacts or effects wolves may have on livestock. This initiative is designed to mitigate financial burdens on producers while encouraging the adoption of practices that reduce conflicts between wolves and livestock. The solicitation for this grant was posted on January 21, 2025, with a response deadline set for June 30, 2029, allowing an extended period for applications. It is managed by a state-level entity and is specific to the state of California. Interested parties can reach out to Axel Hunnicutt for additional information through the provided contact details. The grant aims to balance wildlife conservation efforts with the economic stability of livestock operations in the state.
