The Oregon Fish and

meet Oct. 6-7 in La Grande
to be briefed on the Wolf and
Cougar Management Plan re-
views.
The two-day gathering
begins Thursday with a ield
tour of the Starkey Experi-
mental Forest, which includes
a look at ODFW research
projects. Later, commission-
ers will travel to a private
ranch to discuss elk damage.
Members of the public may

The tour will depart Ameri-
ca’s Best Sandman Inn, 2410

decide on funding for several
access and habitat projects,
including the Hancock Forest
Project to continue hunter ac-
cess to 250,000 acres of pri-
vate land in northeast Oregon
through 2021.
Next the commission will
be briefed on the status of Or-
egon’s Cougar Management
Plan, which is currently under
review. The review process
is not meant to completely
rewrite the plan, but to incor-
porate the latest science and
address any new challenges.
Public testimony is welcome
during this agenda item. The
commission will not be mak-
ing a inal decision on the
plan until a future meeting.
The commission also will
be briefed on the Wolf Man-
agement Plan review during
Friday’s meeting, and public
testimony is welcome during
this item. ODFW staff will
brief commissioners on the
policy issues and concerns
raised during the current re-
view based on meetings and
input from staff, stakeholder
groups and some state and
federal agencies. The com-
mission will not adopt a inal
updated Wolf Management
Plan until a future meeting.
The commission is the
policy-making body for ish
and wildlife issues in the
state. Public testimony before
the commission will be held
irst thing Friday morning,
just after the adoption of tem-
porary rules. Persons seeking
