Public meetings slated Aug. 25-27 on green-dot- wildlife area road
management

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) will hold three public
meetings Aug. 25-27 to discuss green-dot road management on several central
Washington wildlife areas.
Green-dot road systems are those where only roads marked by circular green
reflectors are open to motor vehicles.

WDFW wildlife area managers, Condi Confer, Shana Winegeart and Pete
Lopushinksy, are seeking input on proposals to change the number of
green-dot roads on the Wenas and Colockum wildlife areas, and on acreage in
the Skookumchuck and Parke Creek areas of the L.T. Murray Wildlife Area.

Wildlife area citizen advisory groups and several sportsmen's organizations
have been reviewing the proposals that will be discussed in the public
meetings.
The meetings, which all begin at 6 p.m., will take place:

Aug. 25, in Ellensburg, at the Hal Holmes Center, 209 N. Ruby Street
Aug. 26, in Selah, at the Selah Civic Center, 216 S. 1st St.
Aug. 27, in Wenatchee, at the Campus Theater in Wells Hall on the
Wenatchee Valley College Campus, 1300 5th St.

Final green-dot road plans and maps will be completed in time for roads to
be posted for the beginning of hunting seasons.
