Positions are open on the Utah Wildlife Board and the main one needing filled is for a representative from northeastern Utah. To help manage wildlife, the DWR has divided the state into 5 regions and each region needs to have at least 1 representative on the board. The board makes the final decisions about hunting, fishing and how wildlife is managed in Utah. The term begins in August 2025 and applications from those interested in serving are now being accepted. The governor appoints members to the seven-person board, but any resident of Utah can submit an application for consideration. “To serve on the board, you need to have a strong interest in wildlife and wildlife management in Utah,” shares Wildlife Board Coordinator Staci Coons. “You also need to be committed to serving and representing the people of Utah.” The application period for the northeastern board position closes on March 31st.
