APPLICANTS SOUGHT TO FILL VACANCY ON WILDLIFE ADVISORY BOARD

The Clark County Board of Commissioners is seeking an interested sportsman, or a person engaged in ranching or farming, to fill a vacancy on the Clark County Advisory Board to Manage Wildlife. All applicants must be legal residents of Clark County. The three-year term of this voluntary position will expire on Feb. 1, 2011.

As outlined in Nevada statute, the purpose of the Advisory Board is to “solicit and evaluate local opinion and advise the Wildlife Commission on matters relating to the management of wildlife.” The board also submits recommendations for the setting of fishing, hunting and trapping seasons or other related matters.

Applications can be obtained at the customer service counter for the Department of Air Quality & Environmental Management on the first floor of the Clark County Government Center, 500 S. Grand Central Parkway. Completed applications should be returned in accordance with the instructions on the application form no later than Jan. 11, 2008.

The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) protects, restores and manages fish and wildlife, and promotes fishing, hunting, and boating safety. NDOW’s wildlife and habitat conservation efforts are primarily funded by sportsmen’s license and conservation fees and a federal surcharge on hunting and fishing gear. Support wildlife and habitat conservation in Nevada by purchasing a hunting, fishing, or combination license. For more information, visit www.ndow.org.
