The Working Circle model is based on a comprehensive approach focusing on three primary buckets: reducing wolf-livestock conflict, increasing social understanding for shared landscapes, and supporting ranch resiliency and working land stewardship. The buckets occur simultaneously, feed into each other, and share a certain amount of overlapping activities; each bucket holding approaches with equal priority.  
This is the Working Circle 
​

Reducing Wolf-Livestock
Conflict

Working Circle supports ranching communities to discover and implement long-term and sustainable strategies that reduce the vulnerability of cattle to large carnivores through herd and land management practices.

Increasing Social Capacity for Shared Landscapes

Working Circle recognizes the need to understand and respect different values and perspectives.  We focus on efforts that honor those diverse values while working to bring greater awareness to the social dynamics and challenges surrounding large carnivore conservation and sustainable ranching.

Working Circles
Our work includes facilitating a comprehensive support system for ranchers who endeavor to overcome multiple challenges, including living and working with wolves and other predators on the landscape. This program helps connect people from within their community and those outside their community who have helpful experience or knowledge.
