Game and fish set meeting in RS

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department will host an informational meeting to discuss plans to treat the pond at Bitter Creek Bark Park after an illegal introduction of goldfish to the water.

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Thursday, Jun. 23 at the White Mountain Library.

The illegally introduced goldfish were found in several Rock Springs area ponds following a tip from a concerned citizen in Aug. 2021. Residents are invited to attend this informational meeting to better understand the impacts illegally-introduced species can have on the ecosystem and to be informed about plans to remove the illegally introduced fish from the ponds this fall.

Game and Fish has a program called “Don’t Let It Loose” that helps protect native species in Wyoming.
