Waterfowl Season Public Hearing, Whitehall NY
2026-03-10 18:30 - 21:00 | Whitehall Recreation Center, 28 Williams Street, Whitehall, NY, 12887, United States
ESSEX, Vt. — Public hearings on the status of migratory game bird populations and proposed 2026 migratory game bird hunting seasons for the interior zone of Vermont and Lake Champlain zone in New York and Vermont will be held Tuesday, March 10 and Thursday, March 12.
The annual Vermont Fish and Wildlife Board informational hearings will be held from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on March 10 and March 12. Information to attend the hearings is as follows:
Tuesday, March 10, (in person only) – Senior Citizens building at the Whitehall Recreation Center, 28 Williams Street, Whitehall, New York 12887
Thursday, March 12, (in person only) – Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department, 111 West Street, Essex Junction, Vermont 05452-4695. (To be held in the Act 250 conference room)
Under Federal regulations, waterfowl seasons, bag limits, and shooting hours in the Lake Champlain Zone must be uniform throughout the entire zone. Waterfowl seasons in New York’s portion of the Lake Champlain Zone must be identical to the waterfowl season in Vermont’s portion of the Zone.
The proposed 2026 Migratory Game Bird Seasons are available on Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s website by typing “Board Rules” in the search window. A video explaining the proposal will be available on the website after the hearings. Comments may be provided until March 31 by emailing ANR.FWPublicComment@vermont.gov.
Comments received, as well as input and recommendations from the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, will be reviewed by the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Board in making final 2026 hunting season decisions.
