Hunting to be topic of meeting

The Mauna Kea Recreational Users Group is hosting a citizens legislative evening, “The People’s Hearing: Hunting,” from 5-7:30 p.m. today at Nani Mau Gardens, 421 Makalika St.

The meeting is open to all interested in hunting or public access rights on public lands.

MKRUG, formed in 2009, is a grassroots clearinghouse for protecting and promoting public lands access on Hawaii Island. Its members are organizations that represent hunters, fishermen, off road vehicles, mountain bikers, hikers, paddlers, surfers and others.

According to MKRUG president Wayne Blyth, “We are hosting the ‘People’s Hearing’ as a means of insuring that the people’s voice is heard by our Big Island legislators who will be considering very powerful bills affecting management of our public lands.”

Invited guests include Big Island legislators.

MKRUG works to promote the right of access to and responsible use of public lands and helps identify potential conflicts and common interests for users of public lands.
