tracking.\u00a0 Tom Sullivan is leading this and presented it to meeting at our last meeting in March.\u00a0 Tom was able to get the name change to reflect the Mearns portion of the project and Wade Zarlingo is working with the FS also to make sure Mearns habitat is an important part of the project.\u00a0 We are still working on the White Mountain Mearns project proposal and not ready to commit to it yet.<\/div>\n<div>-Sonoita fires.\u00a0 The area around Sonoita has been hit with several smaller fires in the last week.\u00a0 These are mostly lightning caused and to date have not had a significant impact on habitat.<\/div>\n<div>-Hog and Adobe Canyon access.\u00a0 The homeowners and AGFD are still working agreements that will prevent the FS from closing the access.<\/div>\n<div>-Future AZ quail season dates. \u00a0AGFD is proposing to move the start dates for desert quail back two weeks to later Oct starting in 2018. \u00a0Mearns start dates and end dates for all species are proposed to stay the same. \u00a0There is an opportunity to provide input to AGFD if you have different ideas. \u00a0There is no plan for a chapter input but you are free to engage individually.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>Zack May<br \/>\nSouthern AZ Quail Forever<br \/>\nChapter President<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:zmay@comcast.net\"
