Washington State Conservation Commission

**Deadline Approaching** Submit responses to survey requesting comment on the addition of WDFW to the WSCC by October 30

Recently the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) communicated to the Washington State Conservation Commission (WSCC or Commission) the interest of WDFW to be added to the Commission as a full voting member. More information about this action can be found in the full memo here

The Commission considered WDFW’s request and has directed WSCC staff to submit the question to conservation districts for feedback. When considering the WDFW request, the Commission also considered the current composition of the Commission board. In particular, the Commission considered whether the Commission board contains the right mix of representation. The Commission considered various possible additions and how the addition of an agency representative would impact the current composition.

You can submit your input on this action here.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts.

The Commission also directed staff, when seeking input from conservation districts on the addition of WDFW, to include a number of options for possible changes to the Commission membership. These options are detailed in the full memo and in the surveyIf you have already completed the survey, there is no need to submit a new form. 

The Commission encourages all conservation districts to discuss this proposal and options with your board of supervisors and share your thoughts and comments. The deadline for response is October 30. If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Ron Shultz via email at rshultz@scc.wa.gov, or by phone at (360) 790-5994.
