The Washington Waterfowl Advisory Group (WAG) was formed by WDFW in early 2003 to increase citizen involvement in the management of Washington’s waterfowl resources This group has members from a broad representation of waterfowl hunters throughout the state. Meetings are scheduled to provide advice to the department on a variety of topics, including planned expenditures of state migratory bird stamp revenues, waterfowl seasons, public access, and other topics. To learn more about the Waterfowl Advisory Group (WAG), access meeting minutes, or connect with a representative in your area, contact the WDFW Waterfowl Section at (360) 902-2515 or visit the WDFW Waterfowl Advisory Group page.
