TOPEKA – The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks is encouraging members of the public to share their thoughts on the use of trail cameras on public lands at the Kansas Wildlife and Parks Commission’s next public meeting on Thursday, Nov. 20. The meeting will begin at noon at the Camp Aldrich Conference Center in Claflin and continue until all agenda items are addressed.
“Public input is a key component of the regulatory process,” said Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks Secretary Christopher Kennedy. “Commission meetings provide a direct opportunity to weigh in on proposed and current regulations and have your voice heard.”
The meeting will begin with a report from the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, including an update on regulations currently in the promulgation process.
Other agenda items include:
• Informational updates on camping fees and nonresident waterfowl hunting on public lands
• General discussions on the night vision coyote hunting permit and duplicate boat decal fees
• Review of workshop items (topics that may be voted on at a future meeting).
The meeting will conclude with an additional opportunity for public comment. There will be no public hearing at this meeting.
