Kentucky Fish and Wildlife officials have scheduled a public meeting to discuss the recent implementation of a chronic wasting disease surveillance zone after the disease was discovered on a farm in Breckinridge County.

KFW will host that meeting at the Breckinridge County Cooperative Extension Office, located at 1377 South Highway 261 in Hardinsburg, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 7.

During a special meeting of the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commission, a surveillance zone containing Breckinridge, Hardin, and Meade counties was established. KFW Director of Wildlife Ben Robinson said the zone follows the agency’s policies concerning CWD.

“When you have a detection in a captive facility, you immediately draw a five mile radius around that detection, which becomes your management zone, and then you draw a 15 mile radius around that detection, and any county that touches that 15 mile radius then becomes part of your surveillance zone,” Robinson said.

During the public meeting, KFW staff will share “updates on the collaborative agency and partner response, new hunting regulations in the area, and available CWD testing options.” Attendees will also have a chance to ask questions.
