Due to rising COVID-19 cases in the state, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission officials have decided to cancel this month’s three in-person public hearings on proposed regulation changes and will instead have a virtual public hearing.
The public hearing is to review the 2022-23 proposed regulation changes to inland fishing, hunting, trapping, game lands and other regulated activities.
