Dear all
I greatly appreciate all of the comments that I have been receiving about
the proposed TWRA Sandhill Crane hunt.
However, I am not the one that needs to hear from you. The public comment
period has not officially begun, but there is no reason that you should not
contact the TWRA Commissioners, both statewide and for your region, on this
subject.
Below is a list of all the members; their biographies and fax numbers can be
found at <www.state.tn.us/twra/comnames.html>
Let them hear from you! These are the Commissioners representing all of us
who appreciate wildlife - including birdwatchers, hunters, and
birdwatching-hunters. And these are the people that will make the final
decision.
You are also invited to attend TWRA Commission meetings
<www.state.tn.us/twra/evenmain.html>. I will post the dates of the meeting
most appropriate for the Sandhill Crane discussion.
The TOS Conservation Policy Committee will be posting a fact sheet and
additional information after the meeting at TWRA on Tuesday September 21st.
Dick Preston, TOS President, will be joining me at that meeting.
