I am writing to update you on four items:
-
The next Wolf Advisory Group meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 14, from 11:45 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Thursday, Sept. 15, from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The meeting will take place at the Holiday Inn in Issaquah, 1801 12th Ave. NW, 98027. Please see the attached meeting agenda.
The work session will be open to the public to observe and will follow the same format that we have used in the past, including public comment opportunities at the end of each day.
Members of the public wishing to provide input on the Profanity Peak lethal removal action will have the opportunity to provide verbal or written comments to the Fish and Wildlife Commission when it meets Nov. 4-5 in Olympia. -
A revised chronology of events document can be found on the Profanity Peak webpage at http://wdfw.wa.gov/conservation/gray_wolf/packs/7/. It includes the information I’ve emailed you since Aug. 19.
-
As I’ve mentioned before, after the Department’s lethal removal action has concluded, we will provide a full report to the public. It will include all of the items described in the protocol, including details of staff recommendations, the Director’s decisions, and a complete timeline of events.
- One correction from my update on Sept. 2 – the rally at the Department of Natural Resources building in Olympia on Sept.1 was initiated and coordinated jointly by the Center for Biological Diversity, Predator Defense, Western Watersheds Project, WildLands Defense, Northwest Animal Rights Network, and citizen activists.
As always, please contact me if you have questions or need more information.
