Wildlife Damage Management Meetings

Wildlife Damage Management Virtual Meeting and Listening Session

South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks invites you to attend one of four virtual listening sessions with landowners and producers across the state. If you’ve experienced wildlife damage on your property or operation, we want to hear how we can modify our current programs and services to better meet the needs of landowners and producers. This is an opportunity to discuss what services are working and what areas need improvement. Each virtual listening session will cover topics related to the respective geographic areas.
