State-Wide Public Meetings

Attend our public meetings to be be in-the-know of regulatory & non-regulatory matters.

  • The annual statewide Spring meeting allows Council members the opportunity to consider and take action on any proposed migratory bird regulatory proposals that have been submitted during the open proposal period (November 1-December 15 annually). 

    Other business during this meeting may include the sharing of time-sensitive information relevant to the upcoming spring-summer harvest season for that year.

  • The annual statewide Fall meeting focuses on sharing new information and environmental observations from the Native Caucus, hearing technical reports on migratory bird research from the partner organizations, discussing any ideas for new regulations or amendments to existing regulations, and learning the latest results from the summer aerial and ground-based population surveys.
