List of potential CO counties for wolves updated 

Colorado Parks and Wildlife released five gray wolves onto public land in Grand County

Colorado Parks and Wildlife

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has updated the list of counties under consideration to receive gray wolves during the 2024-25 capture and release season.

The counties currently being considered are Garfield County, Eagle County and Pitkin County. CPW officials will assess sites that meet the criteria set in the Colorado Wolf Restoration and Management plan. Rio Blanco County was removed as a potential location due to the limited number of state-owned sites and the proximity to livestock, along with potential impacts to wildlife.
