According to press release from Fish and Game, Idaho’s population has increased by 21 percent since 1999, and the Wildlife Management Areas has had a dramatic upsurge in visitation. With this gain in popularity, F&G is asking the public to help chart the course for future management of these special areas. The two open houses will allow for an exchange of ideas regarding WMA management.

“We’ve been managing our WMAs using plans crafted in 1999 and much has changed in the 13 years since,” Fish and game regional habitat manager Jerry Deal said. “We invite the public to help us identify WMA management issues, so we can better evaluate management priorities and develop WMA plans that reflect those priorities.”

For those unable to attend an open house, copies of current WMA management plans, together with online comment opportunities, will be available on the Fish and Game website HERE by the week of February 27th.
