Kane County adopts resolution urging delisting of gray wolves in Western Rockies
Summary
The commission adopted Resolution 2025‑36 urging delisting of gray wolves under the Endangered Species Act in the Western Rocky Mountain states, citing county concerns about regulatory impacts on public lands and local operations; the resolution passed unanimously.
Kane County commissioners voted unanimously on Nov. 18 to adopt Resolution 2025‑36 urging federal delisting of the gray wolf in the Western Rocky Mountains.
A commissioner framed the resolution as support for neighboring counties facing regulatory constraints and said the action is intended to relieve perceived burdens on county management of public lands. The resolution will be forwarded to the county’s public lands contacts for advocacy with federal officials.
Why it matters: county officials said delisting would alter federal regulatory requirements that they believe can constrain county management activities on public lands. The commission characterized the resolution as a show of support for other local governments facing similar concerns.
Motion and vote: a commissioner moved to adopt the resolution and the commission approved it unanimously.
