Among agenda items selected by council members, the group is scheduled to receive presentations on nearshore boating effects on aquatic habitat, results of the U.P. deer camp survey and activities of the Michigan Wildlife Council.

The DNR’s eastern and western Upper Peninsula citizens’ advisory councils are designed to provide local input to advise the DNR on regional programs and policies, identify areas in which the department can be more effective and responsive and offer insight and guidance from members’ own experiences and constituencies.

The council members represent a wide variety of natural resource and recreation interests. Agenda items are set by the council members and council recommendations are forwarded to the DNR for consideration.
