Wisconsin’s natural resources are managed by a unique collaboration between the public and the Wisconsin DNR, and every spring, public input is gathered during hearings held by the Wisconsin Conservation Congress. That’s the only statutory body in the state where the public elects delegates to advise the Natural Resources Board and the Wisconsin DNR on how to responsibly manage Wisconsin’s natural resources for present and future generations.
This year the hearings will be held online this coming Monday, April 12th, beginning at 7 PM. During the hearing, which will remain open for 72 hours, the public can provide input on proposed rules changes from the DNR, and answer advisory questions from the Natural Resources Board and the WCC.
This year there are 23 proposed rule changes related to fisheries and five proposed rule changes related to wildlife management. There are also advisory questions from Fisheries, the Natural Resources Board, and the Wisconsin Conservation Congress.
