DWR strategy to help sensitive wildlife ready for review Fish, wildlife and wildlife habitat in Utah that need the most help are listed in a document docu-ment that is now available for public review. The 229 page Utah Wildlife Conservation Strategy also outlines out-lines specific wildlife conservation conser-vation actions that should be taken in Utah over the next 10 years. The goal of the strategy is to prevent the further federal listing of threatened and endangered endan-gered species in Utah while sustaining the economic viability viabil-ity of the rural landscapes that support these species. The strategy is available online at www.wildlife.utah. gov. Comments about the strategy strat-egy must be received no later than May 6. "The strategy must be in place in order for Utah to continue con-tinue receiving State Wildlife Grant funds. These federal funds are appropriated annually annu-ally by Congress and are given to the states to help species and wildlife habitats that are in trouble," said Dana Dolsen, strategy coordinator and wildlife wild-life planning manager for the Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR). "It's vital that Utah continue con-tinue receiving these funds. "The Utah Strategy Partners Group has worked hard on this strategy for more than two years and now they're anxious to receive comments from the public about it," Dolsen said. "I would encourage everyone with an interest in Utah's wildlife, wild-life, especially sensitive species, spe-cies, to review the draft strategy strate-gy and provide their comments by May 6." DWR formed the Utah Strategy Partners Group in the summer of 2003 to help the division write a conservation strategy for Utah. The group consists of four federal agencies agen-cies including U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, Natural Resources Conservation Service and U.S. Forest Service plus representatives representa-tives from the Utah Dept of Natural Resources. The Nature Conservancy, Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, Utah Farm Bureau, Trout Unlimited and the Audubon Society, all private pri-vate groups, are also represented. represent-ed. The group will consider the comments received by May 6 as it drafts its final copy of the strategy to present to the public at a series of Regional Advisory Council meetings in May. After considering the public pub-lic comments received at the meetings, the strategy will be presented to the Utah Wildlife Board for its approval at a June 9 meeting in Salt Lake City. After approval by the board, DWR will present the plan to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in late June. FREE SHOW WITH EVERT DINNER. Our scenic restaurant is open every weekend.
