Washington’s Wolf Advisory Group is scheduled to meet Tuesday and Wednesday in Spokane following a difficult year of state wolf management.

Livestock depredations led to state management actions including the killing of wolves in several Eastern Washington packs.

The group will discuss topics ranging from wolf and livestock range management to procedures for managing wolves in Washington after they are delisted from state endangered species protections.

The advisory group is charged with finding policy compromises for wolf management in the state.

An open-house style public comment period will begin 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Spokane Public Library at 906 W. Main Ave. An advisory group work session will follow.

The meeting will be 11 a.mis set for the Spokane Public Library, 906 W. Main Ave. An open-house style public comment period is set for Tuesday, 11 a.m. - 12:45 p.m., prior to the WAG work session.
