THIS YEAR: The week prior to the annual WCC/DNR Spring Hearings,
4/3/23-4/6/23, Open Houses will be held in each county to allow the public to
ask questions and learn about resource management in their neck of the woods.
See WCC/ DNR Spring Hearing Open Houses for the date and
meeting location for each county.
DNR
staff and WCC delegates will be on hand at these open houses to discuss local
issues of importance, answer questions from the public and open a dialogue
between the public, the DNR and the WCC about areas of interest and concern.
In
addition, the WCC will hold elections for their delegates at each of these open
houses. Two of the five WCC seats will be up for election in each county. For
those who would like to become more involved for wildlife in Wisconsin -- did
you realize that ANYONE can run for election as a Wisconsin Conservation
Congress Delegate? You can read more about the
Wisconsin Conservation Congress Delegate Election Process
