“Our best chance to stop this reckless plan from going through will be by showing up in droves at these public hearings and speaking out on behalf of wolves! Even if you would prefer not to testify, your presence will make a huge difference and will show how strongly Americans support wolves! Join us as we gather before the hearing to learn about the proposals, rally with fellow supporters and get tips on how to testify. Then we’ll head to the hearing together and ensure that FWS hears our voices loud and clear!

Wednesday, October 2nd Clarion Inn, Comstock Room 1401 Arden Way Sacramento, CA 95815 Pre-hearing event starts at 3:30 pm
