In 2001, the Legislature directed the Fish and Wildlife Commission to appoint seven volunteers with disabilities to serve on an advisory committee as a pilot program. This Americans with Disabilities Act Advisory Committee (ADAAC) has been extended to the present, pursuant to RCW 77.04.150.
The ADAAC to the Fish and Wildlife Commission consists of Washington residents with disabilities or experience working with persons with a disability representing each region with one appointed from at-large. This committee works closely with the Department to review, enhance, and create more recreational opportunities.
The Advisory Committee represents the interests of disabled hunters, anglers, and wildlife viewers on matters pertaining to barriers to recreational access to public lands, WDFW managed lands and hunting and fishing opportunities for persons with disabilities. Read the Fish and Wildlife Commission's Report on ADA Advisory Committee for more information.
At the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, we celebrate diverse individuals who bring a wide range of perspectives. All are welcome to participate in our processes regardless of race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, status as a veteran, and basis of disability.
