With the discovery of chronic wasting disease here and gun hunting deer season in three Northwoods counties completed, the DNR is seeking public input on a 15 year chronic wasting disease plan.
Over the past few months the DNR, several agencies and groups have been talking about the plan.
DNR wildlife biologist Michele Woodford in Woodruff outlines the areas where they are looking for feedback...
"...what we're going to do is review the CWD 15 year response plan. The plans covers CWD surveillance and monitoring, hunting season tools, captive deer regulations, biosecurity and safety research and public involvement...."
The public is invited to give feed back on committee recommendations beginning December 20 until January 3. Following the end of the public comment period, the feedback will be shared with County Deer Advisory Councils in January.
A list of the "CDAC" meetings is on the DNR website where you can also leave comments online. Search the keyword 'CWD response plan'.
