MENDOCINO CO., 9/14/25 – The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is hosting a virtual workshop Tuesday inviting the public to help develop a deer conservation and management plan.
The plan follows in the footsteps of the recently released plans for black bears and bighorn sheep.
During the two-hour workshop, participants will learn about the development process and how to be involved. CDFW staff will collect attendee input, which will guide the plan. Attendees can also participate in a Q&A with CDFW staff.
According to CDFW, the first draft of the plan is expected to be available in early 2026.
The workshop is 6-8 p.m. via this Zoom link: https://wildlife-ca-gov.zoom.us/j/88628762826.
