FAIRBANKS -- A grass-roots organization has gathered hundreds of signatures in support of a proposal to expand wolf buffers next to Denali National Park and Preserve.
The proposal to enlarge the buffers is expected to be taken up this weekend in Fairbanks at an Alaska Board of Game meeting.
Nancy Bale, president of the Denali Citizens Group, says more than 500 signatures have been collected in support of expanding wolf buffers on the northeast border of the national park. That is where wolf packs tend to venture outside the park and onto state land in search of food. Wolves are not allowed to be hunted or trapped in the buffer zones.
