said Montrose County Commissioner Scott Mijares. The ordinance defines non-native species as any animal not historically present in Montrose County in the past 100 years, specifically targeting the Canadian Gray Wolf (Canis lupus).
- Ordinance No. 2025-01 prohibits the introduction, support, facilitation, or habitat establishment of non-native animal species.
