Cheyenne - Eighteen Wyoming legislators, government leaders and citizens from across the state have been appointed to the new Wyoming Wildlife Taskforce. The group will study top-priority wildlife policy issues facing the state related to the allocation of hunting opportunity, sportsperson access and other issues identified by the Taskforce. The Wyoming Wildlife Taskforce was formed, and members appointed jointly by, the Governor, the speaker of the House of Representatives, the president of the Senate, the president of the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission and the director of the Game and Fish Department. They include:
“This group of individuals appointed to the Wyoming Wildlife Taskforce reflects a collective of perspectives and expertise from citizens and leaders that will be valuable to our work on licensing and public access and other issues identified by the committee. Topics will require ingenuity, research and deep discussions,” Commission President Pete Dube said. “We are grateful to have their commitment.” The Wyoming Wildlife Taskforce will analyze topics over the next 18-months. The first meeting has not been scheduled but will likely occur mid-summer. The committee will receive background information relative to potential topics between now and the first meeting. All meetings will be open to the public and will allow significant public input and comment. The end goal of the Taskforce is to present conclusions and recommendations to the legislature, Game and Fish Commission and Governor to support decision making on Wyoming’s wildlife resources.
