DNR staffers to answer viewer questions live on ‘Ask the DNR’ Thursday on WNMU-TV13

Upper Peninsula staffers from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources will appear live on television Thursday night to answer viewer questions on “Ask the DNR” on WNMU-TV13.

The hour-long program, hosted by Mike Settles, will air live at 8 p.m. EST, Thursday, Dec. 2. The program will be available later online, where WNMU-TV13 archives past shows.

DNR panelists for the show will include U.P. field deputy Stacy Welling-Haughey from Marquette, wildlife biologist John DePue from Baraga, fisheries biologist Jennifer Johnson from Norway and conservation officer Zach Painter, who patrols Gogebic County.

With the firearm deer hunting season wrapped up, some questions are expected to focus on early impressions from the season and welcoming winter sports activities, but the discussion is typically wide-ranging based on viewer interests.

Viewers are reminded to leave their name, city and phone number when calling in questions. Those questions not answered on the air will be answered by DNR staffers in returned phone calls following the program.

To phone questions in during the live telecast, call 1-800-227-9668.
