Ranchers in Northern California are seeing more of their livestock being killed by wolves, and they are about to get some help over the summer from a dedicated strike team.

In order to combat the growing problem, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is deploying a strike team that will partner with federal, state, and local agencies. Their goal will be to reduce livestock attacks by gray wolves in Siskiyou County and the Sierra Valley, including both Sierra and Plumas counties.
