Public Meetings Set for Discussion of Big Game Plans
Vermont's big game management plans for deer, bear, moose and turkey are being updated, and the Vermont Fish & Wildlife
Department is asking for your help. Fish & Wildlife staff are holding five "open house" public meetings starting May
7th to share information and get your input.
Fish & Wildlife is holding five public meetings to discuss issues and gather comments on wildlife management goals for
Vermont's four big game wildlife species. The information you provide will help Fish & Wildlife develop a 10-year plan
for black bear, white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, and moose that incorporates the biological needs of the species and the
interests of public.
The management plan will serve as a "road map" for wildlife managers and the public to follow over the next 10 years to
bring about desired outcomes such as population goals, habitat conservation, and nuisance animal policies that are
biologically and socially acceptable. A draft plan is being developed to describe the management history behind each of
the four species and the species-specific issues facing them over the next ten years.
An executive summary and management issues for each species is available by clicking below:
All of the public meetings below will run from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.:
