Warrenton Mayor Henry Balensifer says the elk are no longer just a nuisance in his coastal community. They’re actually damaging property and some seniors in the area have been prevented from leaving their homes as elk have charged at them when they attempted to go from their front door to their car. For years, a coalition of groups has been working on how to address this ever-worsening problem. The Clatsop Plains Elk Collaborative has been busy since 2019. Part of the Oregon Solutions at Portland State University, the project team includes the mayors of Warrenton, Seaside and more than two dozen stakeholders. Everything is on the table, the mayor says, including enforcing feeding bans, tagging and tracking, as well as culling. He joins us to tell us more about the plan and what happens next.
