MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced the 2021 Spring Hearing questions and results are now available.

“I’m really happy the Wisconsin Conservation Congress has this online option for allowing citizens to weigh in, given the current situation related to COVID-19,” said Wisconsin Conservation Congress Chair
Tony Blattler. “There are a lot of competing interests vying for the time and attention of Wisconsinites and I’m thrilled with the input and public discussions we had around the Spring Hearing questions this year. We had a record number of citizens submit resolutions to the process — roughly 400 — and that tells me the public is interested and engaged in resource management. It’s great to see.”
