What You Need to Know to Help Save the Kenai Refuge  
Guest speakers retired Kenai Refuge Supervisory Biologist John Morton, retired Kenai Refuge Ranger/Pilot Rick Johnston and Friends President David Raskin.  This panel will explain Kenai's new proposed rules which would allow brown bear baiting on the Refuge for the first time and remove all of the Refuge's ability to regulate trapping and protect fur bearers as well as some other lesser provisions.   These changes will affect wildlife and refuge users and their dogs.   You will have a chance to ask questions.

This serious threat to the Refuge, which contradicts prior refuge decisions, prompted us to call this unusual midsummer meeting.  Comments on the proposed changes will only be accepted until August 10.  There will be no public process other than the comment period. 

For details on the issues, the Federal Register Notice, the draft Environmental Assessment and how to comment go to our Proposed Kenai Rules page.

This is a virtual meeting.

Join Friends of Alaska National Wildlife Refuge online via your computer on zoom or call in. Details on joining the meeting will be available on their website the morning of the meeting here.
