Call for Comments: Hound Field Trials

Draft Compatibility Determination and Environmental Assessment for Hound Field Trials on the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has evaluated a proposed public use on the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge). The proposed use is to allow sanctioned raccoon dog trial associations to conduct “Hound Field Trails” under Special Use Permits. Federal law requires that the Service first allow the public to review this action prior to conducting this activity on the Refuge. A draft compatibility determination and environmental assessment covering the anticipated scope of the activity is currently available for public review and comment.
