CDFW’s most recent Quarterly Wolf News Update highlights known packs, areas of wolf activity, a summary of wolf-livestock depredation investigations, and program communications for the quarter.
The new map of Approximate Area of Gray Wolf Activity, reflects known wolf activity as of October 2026 based on CDFW’s monitoring of the species in the state. CDFW relies on help from the public in determining the presence of new wolf activity and encourages the public to report potential wolf sightings on its Gray Wolf Sightings Report page.
