COPPER CENTER, AK - The Wrangell-St. Elias National Park Subsistence Resource Commission will meet at the park's Visitor Center in Copper Center and by teleconference on Friday, October 4, and Saturday, October 5, to consider a range of issues related to subsistence hunting and fishing in the park. This is the alternate meeting date announced in the Federal Register notice.
Commission business will include an opportunity to comment on proposals to change federal subsistence fishing and hunting regulations regarding Nelchina caribou and Tolsona's customary and traditional use of salmon in the Chitina Subdistrict and freshwater fish in the Copper River drainage, upstream of Haley Creek. The commission is seeking input from current residents of Tolsona on their subsistence uses of lands designated as Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. A variety of reports will also be presented.
