The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission will host a community question-and-answer forum about Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and North Carolina’s response to CWD on Tuesday, May 16 in Cumberland County. The public forum follows the state’s first detection of CWD in a hunter-harvested white-tailed deer in Cumberland County and recent Emergency Powers enacted by the agency’s Executive Director Cameron Ingram. Those who hunt deer in Bladen, Cumberland, Hoke, Harnett, Robeson, Sampson or surrounding counties are encouraged to attend. Co-host, Carolina Sportsman Magazine, will stream the event through Facebook Live and the agency will also share the live feed on its Facebook page for anyone unable to attend.

Registration is not required.
