FWP seeks volunteers for regional<br />
prairie dog implementation group<br />
Fish, Wildlife & Parks is seeking applications to<br />
fill up to 16 positions on a panel being established to<br />
provide input and guidance as W begins implementing<br />
the Region 6 Prairie Dog Distribution and Objectives<br />
Plan.<br />
This Prairie Dog Implementation Committee<br />
(PDIC) will be comprised of interested landowners<br />
or representatives from landowner organizations in<br />
addition to agency personnel from FWP, BLM, DNR<br />
and the U.S. Fish &Wildlife Service and representatives<br />
from other governmental and non-governmental<br />
organizations.<br />
"The function of the committee is to assure that<br />
implementation of the Region 6 Prairie Dog Plan is<br />
done in a coordinated, biological and communitybased<br />
manner," says FWP Region 6 Supervisor Pat<br />
Gunderson. "The priorities of the PDIC are to identify<br />
focus areas for assuring conservation of prairie dogs<br />
and associated species and to help develop strategies<br />
and solutions in response to issues affecting private<br />
landowners. The first task of this committee will be to<br />
begin the process of determining possible locations for<br />
prairie dog complexes."<br />
The Region 6 prairie dog abundance objectives<br />
outlined in the plan call for managing prairie dog<br />
acreage in a range from 30,500 acres to 41,400 acres.<br />
The distribution objectives call for three different types<br />
of prairie dog colonies.<br />
"We're interested in hearing from people who are<br />
interested in prairie dog management and who would<br />
like to get more deeply involved in prairie conservation<br />
issues and conflict resolution," added Gunderson.<br />
"It's important to have a dedicated group to move this<br />
process along. We would like to complete the initial<br />
stages prior to next spring."<br />
Applicants must be committed to attending all<br />
meetings. The initial meeting will be on November<br />
1 and is expected to last about 4 hours. Up to five<br />
additional meetings are planned over the following six<br />
months.<br />
