Before any wolf packs were established in Oregon, state officials convened a group of stakeholders to come up with a plan to manage the wolves’ impending arrival. In a chapter titled “Depredation” she explains that ranchers are often criticized for “their management practices once their animals are released onto summer grazing allotments on public lands,” which may suggest her alignment with those who wholly support the wolves’ return. For all its admirable depth into the topic of wolves in Oregon, Collared only slightly lacks in breadth of coverage about wolves in the West more broadly. Since wolves dispersed naturally into Oregon from surrounding states, there are a number of references both in the text and in footnotes to wolves and wolf management in neighboring states.
