People have the opportunity to exchange ideas and engage in open conversation with staff from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources during a series of town hall meetings being held across the state.
The nine town hall meetings, including two that cover Crittenden and surrounding counties, begin Monday in Lexington and conclude with the final session April 2 in Morehead. Individual meetings are subject to rescheduling due to bad weather.
The meetings encompass Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s goal of striving toward a more informed and involved public. Commissioner Jon Gassett and managers of the departments’ various programs will be on hand to answer questions, provide updates and discuss issues of interest to hunters, anglers, trappers, boaters and other wildlife/outdoor enthusiasts. The commission member representing the district will also attend the meeting.
All meetings will begin at 7 p.m. local time.
The First Wildlife District meeting will be in Gilbertsville on March 26. The session will be held at the Kentucky Dam Village Convention Center, 113 Administration Drive. This district includes Crittenden, Livingston, Caldwell, Lyon and 10 other counties.
The following day, in Powderly, the Second Wildlife District will host a meeting at the Merle Travis Music Center, 750 Cleaton Road. This district includes Union, Webster and 13 other counties.
