Colorado Parks and Wildlife, which faces sharp criticism over its plans to release more wolves on the Western Slope in the coming months, met with county commissioners last week from the counties where the next reintroductions are slated to take place.
Those counties are Pitkin (Aspen), Rio Blanco, Eagle and Garfield, according to the agency.
The idea of more wolves on the Western Slope didn’t sit well with county commissioners — except for Pitkin County. And Pitkin County doesn’t have state lands, so dropping wolves into that county would require a private landowner to grant Colorado Parks and Wildlife permission to do so.
