Fish and Game Seeking Public Comment on Draft Idaho Wolf Population Management Plan
Posted on: November 27, 2007
Pocatello – The Idaho Department of Fish and Game has scheduled an open house to seek public review and comment on a draft Idaho Wolf Population Management Plan. The open house will be held Tuesday, December 4, 2007 in the Wood River Room of the Student Union Building at Idaho State University. There will be a presentation of the plan at 6:00 pm, but Fish and Game personnel will be available with information and for questions and comments from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
Fish and Game has developed the draft Idaho Wolf Population Management Plan in anticipation of wolves in Idaho being removed from the endangered species list, which U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service may do in early 2008.
Fish and Game is seeking public review and comments on the draft wolf management plan, which will guide post-delisting wolf monitoring and management. The Department is proposing using regulated harvest to help manage wolf populations, provide harvest opportunity, and to help reduce conflicts. Additionally, the plan proposes management to provide viewing opportunity.
The draft plan is available on the Fish and Game website at Draft Wolf Population Management Plan, http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/apps/surveys/draftwolf. The plan can also be viewed at any Fish and Game office, or a copy requested by calling 208-334-3700 or 208-232-4703.
Written comments can be submitted at the scheduled open house, online at Fish and Game’s website, or by mail to Idaho Fish and Game, P.O. Box 25, Boise ID 83707, attention Wolf Plan Comments. The deadline for submitting comments on the draft plan is close of business day on December 31, 2007.
Individuals with disabilities may request meeting accommodations by contacting Martha Wackenhut at 232-4703 or through the Idaho Relay Service at 1-800-377- 3529(TDD).
