Share your thoughts with the DNR at upcoming meetings
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is committed to providing citizens the opportunity to share input and ideas on policy decisions, programs and other aspects of natural resource management and outdoor recreation opportunities. One important avenue for this input is at meetings of the public bodies that advise the DNR and, in some cases, also set policies for natural resource management.
The following boards, commissions, committees and councils will hold public meetings in June. The public is encouraged to attend. The links below will take you to the webpage for each group, where you will find specific meeting locations and, when finalized, meeting agendas.
Please check these pages frequently, as meeting details and agendas may change and sometimes meetings are canceled.
Special meeting
On Monday, June 10, the DNR will host an Upper Peninsula listening session on proposed deer regulations, including a recommended limited deer baiting and feeding ban in portions of Delta, Dickinson and Menominee counties, in response to chronic wasting disease. The meeting will run from 2 to 4 p.m. EDT in the Turtle Room at the Island Conference Center in Harris. Contact Stacy Welling Haughey, DNR U.P. regional coordinator, at 906-226-1331 for more information.
