Wasco 2040, Wasco County’s Comprehensive Plan update, will be discussing goals relating to wildlife, forests, and recreation over the next few months. Wasco County Long-Range Planner Kelly Howsley-Glover this could be one of the most contentious parts of the process, noting wildlife map revisions in the past have brought up both private property and conservation issues. She says they will be updating two overlay maps based on new data from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Four public meetings are scheduled in February on the topic starting February 19 at Columbia Gorge Community College in The Dalles, and moving on to Dufur School on February 20, Wamic School on February 26, and Mosier Grange Hall on February 27, all at 5:30 p.m. More information is available at wasco2040.com.
