U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe Hosting Lesser Prairie Chicken Forums
Wed, 31 Aug 2011 14:09:21 CDT
U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe will be holding two September forums with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director, Dan Ashe, concerning the potential listing of the lesser prairie chicken as an endangered or threatened species. The lesser prairie chicken occupies a five-state range that includes Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado. The range in Oklahoma includes the Panhandle and several western Oklahoma counties.
In January 2011, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service initiated the listing process for the lesser prairie chicken. Director Ashe and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service staff members will address the current stage of the process, hear from interested parties on a potential listing and answer questions from participants. The forums will allow participants to directly contribute to the decision making process.
The first forum will be held on Sept. 7, 2011, at the High Plains Technology Center, Seminar Room, 3941 34th Street, Woodward OK. The second forum will be held on Sept. 8, 2011, at the University of Central Oklahoma, Nigh University Center, Room 300, 100 North University Drive, Edmond OK.
