The Alabama Conservation Advisory Board (CAB) will hold a meeting on Thursday, May 29. The meeting will take place at the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries, Richard Beard Auditorium, 1445 Federal Dr., in Montgomery, Alabama. The meeting will begin at 10:30 a.m.

The CAB assists in formulating policies for the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR), examines all rules and regulations, and makes recommendations for their change or amendment. This includes hunting seasons and bag limits. A public comment segment is not scheduled as public comments were accepted during the regularly scheduled May 10 meeting.

Additional CAB members include Greg Barksdale of Hanceville; Kevin Savoy of Dothan; Grady Hartzog of Eufaula; Brock Jones of Tuscaloosa; Raymond Jones, Jr., of Huntsville; Jeff Martin of Talladega; Ben C. Stimpson, Jr., of Mobile; Charlie Gray of Dauphin Island; and Tim Wood of Selma.

The three ex-officio CAB members are Gov. Kay Ivey, Agriculture Commissioner Rick Pate, and Alabama Cooperative Extension System Director Dr. J. Mike Phillips. ADCNR Commissioner Chris Blankenship serves as ex-officio secretary.
