Elk NetworkWyoming Gathers Grizzly Comments, Shaping Management Plan

General | February 22, 2018

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is moving forward with the next steps for grizzly bear management in Wyoming, thanks to input received from the public. Wildlife managers are now developing and revamping priorities for management guided by input from public discussion forums held across the state this fall and winter. These meetings brought out hundreds of people with many helpful ideas on the main components of Wyoming’s Management Plan; research, education, population monitoring, conflict management and hunting. 

To recap what Game and Fish heard and how the input will be used, Chief Game Warden Brian Nesvik and Large Carnivore Section Supervisor, Dr. Dan Thompson, will hold a discussion on Facebook Live to take place on Tuesday, Feb. 27 at 12 noon. Anyone can watch via the Game and Fish Facebook page.
