Public meeting on draft Skagit Wildlife Area management plan

WDFW is hosting a public meeting on a draft management plan for the Skagit Wildlife Area at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 27 at the Burlington Public Library, located at 820 E. Washington Ave.

WDFW engaged tribal governments, technical experts, key stakeholders, and members of its Skagit Wildlife Area Advisory Committee in the development of the draft plan. Once finalized, the Skagit Wildlife Area plan will guide stewardship for the 17,968-acre wildlife area for the next 10 years.

The public is invited to ask questions and share feedback on the draft plan at the workshop. Members of the public can view the plan and also submit comments online, by email, or by mail to Lisa Wood, P.O. Box 43200, Olympia, WA, 98504. The draft plan and additional materials are available at WDFW’s State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) website. Comments must be received by 5 p.m. on April 22.
