The Marion County Forestry Planning Committee will host a program for land owners, land managers, hunters or anyone interested in learning about Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). This disease has recently been discovered in Mississippi. It is only a matter of time before Alabamians must deal with this dreadful disease!
Matt Brock, a wildlife biologist with the Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries will be speaking about the history of CWD, the state response, the importance of testing, and the potential impact to humans.
This disease could have a huge impact socially but also economically and it is very important that the public understand what they can do to minimize it’s spread and impact. Please join us at the Backside BBQ & Catfish located at 1717 Hwy 17, Hamilton AL 35570, May 3rd starting at 6:30 p.m.
The meal will be Dutch treat. Please call the Alabama Cooperative Extension System office at 205-921-3551 no later than April 30, 2018 if you plan to attend in order for us to have an estimate of how many people to plan for.
Hope to see you there!
