Idaho Fish and Game to host public strategic plan meeting

JEROME, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — Tuesday evening, the Idaho Fish and Game wants to hear from you about how the agency manages wildlife in the state.

At the Fish and Game’s Regional Office near Jerome, they will host a public forum about the agency’s 10-year strategic plan.

This plan gives the department direction for managing Idaho’s wildlife. It was last updated in 2015.

Craig White, the Magic Valley Regional Supervisor, said the meeting will allow the public to give their input on the department’s habitat management, disease control, and combating invasive species. They urge people to come out because public opinion is very helpful for their plan.

“We work for all citizens. We also have a mandate that we provide opportunities for fishing, hunting and trapping, where it’s available, as well as wildlife viewing,” White said. “So this is the citizens chance to engage and give some direction on how they want that to be done and seen and how they want to be involved.”

The meeting starts at 6 p.m. and lasts an hour and a half, but it could last longer depending on how many people show up and talk.

The meeting will be held at the Magic Valley Regional Office in Jerome.
