Public comment to be taken on Colorado’s wolf reintroduction plan
Coloradans will get to weigh in on a controversial issue that some say has highlighted the urban-rural divide: wolf reintroduction.
Passed by a narrow vote in 2020, with the Denver area leading the charge for approval, residents of the Centennial State continue to debate whether the initiative will be beneficial or harmful to the state.
While the reintroduction is set to happen regardless of voiced opinions at this point, the public can share their thoughts on the recently released draft plan for the reintroduction initiative.
People seeking to comment have two options: They can leave their remarks online or show up at one of the in-person meetings set to take place around the state.
