May 2023

Northern Long-eared Bat update As of March 31, 2023 the Northern Long-eared Bat (NLEB) has been classified as an endangered species and as a result the species section 4(d) prohibitions and exceptions are no longer valid. This reclassification has resulted in numerous questions regarding what constitutes a “take” for the NLEB. Read more on NLEB update.

State Aid Emergency Relief refresher Spring flooding season is officially here, and the State Aid is here to help. When disaster strikes, these are the potential funding sources based off the type of damage, roadway classification, disaster proclamations, and monetary value of the damage. Read more ER refresher.
