The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), along with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), will hold an online outreach meeting later this month.

This meeting for licensed hunters is designed to take comments and recommendations regarding hunting programs on Type A Wildlife Areas in the Bay Delta Region. The online meeting will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 25, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. using Microsoft Teams. Those interested are asked to email Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area Manager Joe Hobbs (joe.hobbs@wildlife.ca.gov) for a link to the meeting and instructions for submitting comments and questions.

State wildlife areas to be discussed are the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area and the Grizzly Island Wildlife Area Complex. CDFW will provide updates on habitat conditions, availability of water for wetlands during the drought and possible impacts on the lingering global pandemic.

CDFW annually provides an opportunity for licensed hunters to comment and make recommendations on public hunting programs, including anticipated habitat conditions in the hunting areas on Type A wildlife areas through public meetings and outreach.
