The Bureau of Land Management’s Eagle Lake Field Office has issued a wildlife alert for residents, hikers, bike riders in the areas west of Susanville following confirmed reports of gray wolf sightings near the Bunnel Ranch area along the Bizz Johnson Trail.
While wildlife officials emphasize that wolves typically avoid human interaction, the proximity of these sightings to a high-use recreation corridor has prompted the agency to urge caution. The Bizz Johnson Trail is a frequent destination for hikers, cyclists and families, making awareness of these large predators essential.
“Your awareness helps keep both people and wildlife safe while enjoying California’s public lands,” the agency said in a statement released January 22nd.
