Members of the Southeast Region Winter Feeding Advisory Committee (WFAC) will meet on Jan. 2, 2024 to assist Idaho Fish and Game with the assessment of winter conditions and observations related to big game animals (movements, depredations, activity on roadways, body conditions, mortalities) in the Southeast Region. The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m.
The WFAC is made up of five volunteers from around the region whose input helps to inform Fish and Game’s winter-feeding decisions.
These volunteer committee members meet several times each winter as they monitor local weather, wildlife distribution, and landscape conditions. Committee members also serve as sounding boards for citizens in their communities and communicate with Fish and Game staff on a regular basis.
Members of the public are invited to attend the meeting in person or call-in, but please note that meeting rules do not allow for the public to provide comment or ask questions during the meeting. The public is welcome to provide comments to the WFAC members or to the Idaho Fish and Game anytime before a meeting convenes.
