(Salt Lake City-AP) -- Residents will get to voice their opinions next month on how Utah manages the gray wolf.

Ten public meetings are scheduled throughout the state beginning March Eighth.

The meetings will be arranged in an open-house format with members of the Wolf Working Group and the mammals coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources.

The Wolf Working Group is comprised of representatives of the Ute tribe, professors, wolf advocates, hunters, ranchers, elected officials, and environmentalists.

Their efforts received added priority when a wolf was captured in 2002 near Morgan. They hope to have a plan in place by 2005.

The federal government recently reclassified the gray wolf, downgrading its federally protected status from endangered to threatened.
