Magic Valley Winter Feeding Advisory Meeting
Date: Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2024, 6 p.m. MST
Address: Idaho Department of Fish and Game, Magic Valley Regional Office, 324 S 417 E Jerome, ID 83338
Winter Feeding Advisory Committees assist the Department with assessing winter conditions and make recommendations to regional staff about winter feeding based on local conditions. Each regional committee is made up of five local citizens who monitor winter conditions and make recommendations to regional Fish and Game staff about feeding big game.
The Magic Valley Regional Winter Feeding Advisory Committee was established in the region because of its history of putting in emergency feeding sites during severe winters.
Committee members can meet several times each winter if conditions are warranted, as they monitor local weather, wildlife distribution and landscape conditions. Committee members can also receive input from residents in their communities and communicate their thoughts with Fish and Game staff on a regular basis.
