The Details
Wyoming Game and Fish is presenting on their proposed Migration Corridor designation for the Wyoming Range Mule Deer Migration and the Path of the Pronghorn. These public meetings will also be an opportunity for WGFD to present their most recent designation of the Platte Valley corridor. Game and Fish will also be presenting on plans to help protect and promote long term sustainability of the Cody mule deer herd. Learn more about the statewide mule deer initiatives.
Why Show Up
Public meetings are vital in showing support or opposition to topics of public interest. They also provide an opportunity to help shape public opinion around specific issues. If the public doesn’t show up, the public could lose out.
Local Support on Local Issues
Local decision makers are at these meetings and many times there are local press outlets in the room. These meetings again are an opportunity to cultivate a local voice on the issues at hand. By showing up those decision makers will know local people care about and support big game habitat conservation.
