The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Commission has rejected a proposal to increase the size of the Pierre Waterfowl Refuge.
The proposed expansion would’ve added the area downriver from LaFramboise Island to the tip of Farm Island on Lake Sharpe. It also would’ve included from Corp Bay to the tip of Peoria Flats on Lake Oahe. The DeGrey Waterfowl Refuge, down river, was not part of the proposed expansion.
This proposal was brought by the Commission in response to a petition submitted regarding this refuge.
The next GFP Commission meeting will be held May 5-6, 2022, in Custer State Park.
