About Wildlife Management Education Fund

THE WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT PUBLIC EDUCATION ADVISORY COUNCIL:

THE COUNCIL IS MADE UP OF NINE MEMBERS REPRESENTING VARIOUS INTERESTS THROUGHOUT COLORADO. . .

The Council is constructed of nine members:

• Two represent the hunting and fishing public east of the continental divide.
• Two represent the hunting and fishing public west of the continental divide.
• One represents the agriculture and livestock industry.
• Another represents municipalities while the sixth represents counties ( Both must be from communities impacted by hunting and fishing recreation and revenues.)
• The eighth member is a media/marketing expert.
• The final member represents the CDOW.

HB 1409 specified that the Council write a formal action plan that required the approval of the Director of the CDOW. The Council completed that “plan” which was submitted to the Director and approved in late 1998. The plan outlines the objectives of the Council and lists the types of information that they felt necessary to communicate to the public. That plan is public information and available through the CDOW.
