1:59Now PlayingAbout a dozen Colorado Parks and Wildlife employees are heading to Oregon to capture wolves and relocate them to Colorado, as voters decided in 2020.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) must reintroduce wolves in the state before Dec. 31. Oregon is the only state, so far, to let Colorado take some of its wolves.
"It's terribly exciting. It's very cool," Eric Odell, CPW's Species Conservation Program Manager, told 9NEWS. "I think the whole agency recognizes that there's nothing we've taken on as an agency that's nearly as big and meaningful."
Odell's primary focus right now is on wolves, and he will be part of the group going to Oregon.
"It's a big honor to be part of this," he said.
