The state Department of Fish and Wildlife is accepting applications through Feb. 28 for five positions on its enforcement advisory group. Formed in 2006, the group assists the Enforcement Program with public outreach and education, hunter/fisher relations, legislation and the state administrative code.

Advisers will be chosen for two- to three-year terms, depending on the rotation of existing members.

The department wants people who represent a range of conservation and recreational interests, understand fish and wildlife enforcement issues and have an ability to communicate with the public.

The advisory group meets twice a year via video-conference at regional offices and once a year at a central location. The majority of the work is conducted via email. This is a volunteer position and those selected are responsible for their own travel expenses.

Applications must be received by the close of business Feb. 28 and must include the applicant’s name, address, telephone number, email address, affiliations and experience with fish and wildlife conservation or other law enforcement. Up to three references may be included.

Applications can be submitted to Sean.Carrell@dfw.wa.gov or by mail to Sean Carrell, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, 600 Capitol Way N., Olympia, WA 98501. For more information, contact Carrell at 360-902-2926.
