The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission has scheduled one of five public meetings regarding black bear management at Bladen Community College. The meeting is set for Monday, April 3 at 7 p.m. in the school’s auditorium.
The meetings will serve as an open forum to receive public comment regarding options that would change the current coastal bear hunting seasons to align with the new biological bear management units that were presented at last year’s forums.
“We take these meetings seriously,” said Dr. David Cobb, chief of the Commission’s Wildlife Management Division. “Input from our constituents is invaluable to the Commission and truly helps shape our management efforts.”
Other meetings, all scheduled for 7 p.m. include:
** Tuesday, March 28 at McDowell Community College in Marion.
** Wednesday, March 29 at Davidson County Community College in Thomasville.
** Wednesday, April 5 at Martin Community College in Williamston.
** Thursday, April 6 at Craven Community College in New Bern.
