Judy Camuso is stepping down as Maine’s wildlife and inland fisheries commissioner. That caps off two decades of public service for Camuso, who joined the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife in 2007. Her last day as commissioner is April 30. Under her leadership, the department saw a 9% increase in fishing licenses and 10% increase in hunting licenses. The department conserved 30,000 acres for recreation and habit, including 8,000 for deer. Additionally, the department under Camuso added 20 new boating access sites, increased deer and moose permits, and added youth hunting days.
