In response to RES’s suggestion of providing stock tanks with fresh water for wildlife, RES Director, Dave Coffman, stated that RES’s main focus is on the conservation of Western Pond Turtles, coho salmon, federally protected suckers, bald eagles, and other specific species. RES has not received any instructions to allocate funds for managing privately owned livestock or a wide variety of other wildlife in the area. Although the idea of providing stock tanks to support wildlife is entertaining, RES’s priority lies in the preservation of these specific species and their habitats. At this time, RES is committed to implementing special efforts and initiatives to support the conservation of the targeted species mentioned.
