Reducing livestock-predator conflicts: The California Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is accepting Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) applications from livestock producers interested in reducing predator-livestock conflicts. This program will directly fund producers looking to use conflict reduction tools and strategies in areas of known wolf presence and proximity to confirmed livestock depredations. Eligible counties for this funding are determined by California Department of Fish and Wildlife wolf monitoring and include Butte, Del Norte, Fresno, Humboldt, Lassen, Mendocino, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou, Tehama, Trinity and Tulare counties. Please see the full announcement from CA NRCS at https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/…/nrcs-california-announces… – The deadline to apply for these NRCS EQIP funds is May 30, 2025.
