The Wrangell-St. Elias National Park Subsistence Resource Commission has announced a meeting scheduled for September 25 and 26. The meeting will be held at the Tok Chamber of Commerce and Visitor’s Center, as well as virtually via Microsoft Teams and teleconference. The location is a change from the one listed in the Federal Register notice, a move made to accommodate technological requirements.
The meeting is set to discuss a variety of issues concerning subsistence hunting and fishing within the park. Subsistence hunting and fishing are crucial activities for many local communities, providing necessary sustenance and maintaining cultural traditions. The discussions will likely touch on regulations, sustainability, and other relevant topics.
The Wrangell-St. Elias National Park Subsistence Resource Commission is responsible for coordinating management activities related to subsistence uses of fish and wildlife resources on public lands within the park. This upcoming meeting provides an important platform for discussing and addressing the challenges and issues related to these activities.
