PHOENIX — A seminar and live webcast about wild burros and how they relate to native wildlife and habitats in Arizona will be hosted by the Arizona Game and Fish Department on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.

The approximate 45-minute presentation will cover their life history and ecology, legal history, proposed legislation, and resource and management issues in Arizona.

The event is at the department’s Phoenix office at 5000 W. Carefree Highway. To accommodate those interested but unable to attend in person, the seminar will be webcast simultaneously on the Internet at www.azgfd.gov/webcast.

A panel of three of the department’s experts with more than 50 years experience in the management of wildlife, habitats, and public lands will present different aspects of wild burros in Arizona.

After the presentations, an interactive question-and-answer session with the public will take place. Online viewers can submit questions for consideration by the panel via an e-mail link at www.azgfd.gov/webcast.
