RALEIGH, N.C. — The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission is seeking nominations through April 30 for five seats on its Non-game Wildlife Advisory Committee — a board of North Carolina citizens that provides advice to the Commission on non-game wildlife conservation issues across the state. Nominations are being accepted for expert and at-large seats on the Non-game Wildlife Advisory Committee.
Available seats, including relevant experience, are:
*Expert affiliate seat: Nominees for these seats should have extensive biological, regional, academic, scientific and/or habitat expertise and experience in matters dealing with non-game wildlife conservation in North Carolina.
*At-large affiliate seat: Nominees for these seats should be qualified individuals from land trusts serving North Carolina, federal natural resource agencies other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, non-governmental conservation organizations, industries with operations and/or management that have landscape-scale effects on wildlife, or other organizations that provide a stakeholder voice in wildlife resource conservation. Individuals should have a comprehensive knowledge of non-game wildlife conservation in North Carolina.
The Commission asks committee members to participate actively throughout their terms. The committee meets four times a year, usually at the Commission’s headquarters in Raleigh. The 19-member board of the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission is scheduled to appoint committee members at its July meeting, based on the nominees’ credentials, expertise, affiliation and constituency at large.
