Kehne Appointed to Fish and Wildlife Commission

By NCBI
Dec 08, 2011

Omak resident Jay Kehne had been appointed by Gov. Chris Gregoire to the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission.

The 57-year-old Kehne was appointed to a six-year term on the nine-member citizen panel that sets policy for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. He was appointed to one of the three eastern Washington positions.

Kehne currently serves as Okanogan outreach associate for Conservation Northwest. He previously had a 31-year career with the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service. He has collaborated on an Okanogan County conservation-easement working group with county officials, land trusts and WDFW staff.

Kehne is a member of both the Rocky Mountain Elk and Mule Deer foundations.


The Governor also appointed Larry Carpenter, a Mount Vernon boat dealer and long-time sportfishing enthusiast.
Carpenter was appointed to one of the Western Washington positions. Three members must reside east of the summit of the Cascade mountains, three must reside west of the summit and three may reside anywhere in the state.

Miranda Wecker, commission chair said, "We're extremely pleased to welcome these great additions to the commission." She said, "These are two strong individuals and we are looking forward to seeing their perspectives brought to the table."
