Public Invited To Attend Nongame Wildlife Constituency Forum On Aug. 22

Calling all nongame wildlife enthusiasts! The Arizona Game and Fish Department and Audubon Arizona invite you to join a wildlife constituency forum on Saturday, Aug. 22 from 1 to 4 p.m. The forum seeks to connect those who share a passion for Arizona's nongame wildlife (those species that are not traditionally hunted) with organizations that work every day to ensure the future of these species.

These forums are ongoing and the public is encouraged to attend, interact and share feedback on their nongame wildlife experiences and collaboration opportunities.

The forum will be held at Audubon Arizona at 3131 S. Central Ave. in Phoenix. Topics included on the agenda include updates on gartersnakes, frogs and tortoise conservation work and opportunities for the public to help biologists by collecting/ reporting data.

For more information, contact Tice Supplee at Audubon Arizona (tsupplee@audubon.org or 602-468-6470, ext. 106) or Mike Rabe at Arizona Game and Fish (mrabe@azgfd.gov or 623-236-7353).
