The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, along with the University of California, Berkeley, and University of California Cooperative Extension, is seeking input from livestock producers and California residents on the future of the state’s Wolf-Livestock Compensation Program.

The anonymous survey is intended to help inform improvements to the pilot compensation program established in 2021 and gather feedback from those directly impacted by wolf activity and livestock management challenges across the state. Responses will be securely maintained by UC and shared only in aggregate form with CDFW and the public. This survey is separate from the UC survey distributed in July 2025.

The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and will remain open through June 11.
