HARRISBURG, Feb. 26 – Sportsmen and landowners in Luzerne County are invited to attend an informational meeting Thursday in Hazleton regarding chronic wasting disease, according to state Rep. Jim Haddock.
The public meeting will take place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27 at Penn State Hazleton, 76 University Drive, Graham Building Room 115 (Parking lot F).
“As a member of the House Game and Fisheries Committee, I encourage hunters and landowners with questions about how upcoming regulations could affect them and how chronic wasting disease affects deer to make time to attend this important meeting,” said Haddock, D-Luzerne/Lackawanna.
Cases of CWD have been discovered in southern Luzerne County and, more recently, in Carbon County.
The free event, hosted by the Pennsylvania Game Commission, will include an informational session on CWD and a question-and-answer period.
