The Many Chapters of Wolf Recovery in Idaho: From Reintroductions to Bounties

The Sawtooth Summer Series continues with this presentation by Carter Niemeyer at the Stanley Museum.  Niemeyer, who will speak to the dynamics of wolf recovery in Idaho over the last three decades, served as the wolf management specialist for USDA Wildlife Services covering the states of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming and as a member of the wolf capture team in Canada during reintroduction in the mid-1990s. In 2001, he was recruited by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to run the agency’s wolf recovery program in Idaho, and retired in 2006, coincidentally, on the same day that wolf management was officially handed over to the state of Idaho.
