The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is asking the public to review and submit comments on its draft of the Strategic Elk Management Plan, which serves as a guide for the agency’s decisions regarding the elk program.
The plan is available for review on the TWRA website at https://www.tn.gov/twra/strategic-elk-plan.html
In May, TWRA held two public workshops that were very successful in generating public input about the plan. Now that a draft of the plan is complete, TWRA would like the public to review the plan and submit comments.
“The plan will provide guidance for the TWRA Elk Program for the next ten years with an emphasis on healthy populations, habitat, and public involvement,” says TWRA Elk Program Leader Brad Miller.
“Broad program goals are provided as the basic framework of the plan, and specific objectives and strategies have been created to meet these goals.”
Comments will be accepted from Jan. 16, to Feb. 16, and can be submitted via email to TWRAElkComments@tn.govwith "Elk Plan Comments" in the subject line. TWRA is also accepting written comments by mail at:
