FWC Commission Meeting

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will hold its May meeting in Ocala, where Commissioners are expected to consider broad rulemaking changes—including a proposal to allow hunting of the Florida black bear. This meeting will be a critical opportunity for the public to provide input before any formal rulemaking begins.
