Deadline to send written Comments to SD GFP Commission for September Meeting

September 1 @ 11:50 pm - 11:59 pm

Before midnight MT is the deadline to send written Comments to SD GFP Commission for their September Meeting.

If folks missed the comment deadlines of August 14th, 16th and 20th on various wildlife action plans, we suggest people still send in comments before this August 1st deadline, as a copy of these comments will still be given to the Commissioners (who make the decisions). Go to those dates on the calendar for alerts.  Also go to Sept 5th-6th Commission meeting event item fo more info. Here is PHAS’s comments on the draft Mountain Lion Action Plan: https://phas-wsd.org/wp-content/uploads/PHAS-Comments-on-the-Mountain-Lion-Action-Plan-.pdf

Written comments can be submitted at https://gfp.sd.gov/forms/positions/. To be included in the public record of the most immediate meeting, comments must include your complete name and city of residence and meet the submission deadline of seventy–two hours before the meeting (not including the day of the meeting) (Usually Sunday night before midnight CT or MT depending on time zone of physical meeting)  If you miss that deadline it goes to record of the next meeting .

Unless you want to communicate directly with each Commissioner  (those comments will not be in the public record)–  https://gfp.sd.gov/commission/members/  (no deadline). You can see phones and home address at this link.  Here are likely e-mails for them.
