DNR
spring wildlife & fisheries proposed rules hearing and annual Conservation
Congress county meeting
More
than 12,600 people provided input. Thanks to all of you who responded in favor
of reducing the influence of the trappers, hunters, and hounders.
Unfortunately, the hunters and trappers pretty much carried the day:
Normally, the annual
Spring Fish and Wildlife Public Hearings and Wisconsin Conservation Congress
public meetings are held simultaneously in all 72 counties in Wisconsin.
However, becasue of the COVID 19 pandemic, the hearings will be held online.
EVERYONE in Wisconsin can still weigh in and voice opinions on WI wildlife and
outdoor issues by weighing in on advisory questions relating to fish and
wildlife management in Wisconsin. Citizens also have the opportunity to submit
resolutions for changes they would like to see in the future. Please see the
General Spring Hearing Guidelines for an explanation of the
entire process.
For
individuals who wish to provide input on the DNR proposed rule changes and WCC
advisory questions, the online input option which will open on April 12, 2021,
at 7 p.m. and will remain open for 72 hours.. The link will be posted on
https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/about/wcc/springhearing.
Generally at these
meetings, county residents have the option to run for a seat on the
Conservation Congress, or elect other delegates from their county to represent
their county views regarding natural resources on the Conservation Congress.
Unfortunately, since these elections can only take place at in-person meetings,
due to the ongoing pandemic, the 2021 elections are canceled. All
current terms are extended for one year.
Hopefully, things will be
back to normal next year -- 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?
Finally, individuals have
the opportunity to bring new conservation concerns of a statewide nature to the
attention of the Conservation Congress through the citizen resolution process.
Please see
2021 Spring Hearing Citizen Resolution Submittal FAQ for
complete information on resolutions.
