Open house set at Westmoreland game commission office

An open house at the Westmoreland County office of the Pennsylvania Game Commission is set for April 30.

The public will be able to interact with staff members and ask questions at the Fairfield office at 4820 Route 711, north of Ligonier, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. There are no formal presentations planned and visitors can stop by at any time during the two-hour window.

Members of the public can use the open house to discuss hunting and trapping issues, as well as other topics, such as law enforcement, wildlife disease, monitoring wildlife population, pheasant stocking, habitat work, forestry practices or upcoming events.

”Our staff is always willing to help, and we often gets as much out of these interactions as the public does,” said Bryan Burhans, game commission executive director.
