Arizona Game and Fish to Host Webcast, Public Meeting on Strategic Plan on Nov. 13

The Arizona Game and Fish Department will host a public meeting and webcast at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 13, to discuss the department’s proposed Wildlife 20/20 strategic plan. The meeting will be held at the department’s headquarters at 5000 W. Carefree Highway in Phoenix and will be webcast at www.azgfd.gov/webcast.

Wildlife 20/20 provides broad strategic guidance for all department programs and is intended to be a living document that conveys policy direction that the Arizona Game and Fish Commission has provided to the department to guide its work into the future. It will be complemented by additional plans designed to provide more specific direction, as needed.

The meeting will include an overview of the strategic plan and the opportunity for questions and comments from those attending the meeting in person. The plan has already been through a comment period since its release in early October, but comments can continue to be e-mailed to agfdStrategicPlan@azgfd.gov through Nov. 28, or mailed to Strategic Plan, Arizona Game and Fish Department, Attn: Sherry Crouch, 5000 W. Carefree Highway, Phoenix, AZ 85086, through Nov. 28.
