The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced that it’s looking for public input on the next ten years of wolf management in the state. The DNR also wants public comment on the fall 2021 wolf hunt season.
The public comment period will be open from April 15th to May 15th on the DNR Wolf management plan webpage. As part of the management plan, the department will have a Wolf Management Plan Committee (WMPC), which will hold meetings to discuss the ten-year plan.
Once the comment period is over, the WMPC will review everything and share what they’ve found with the DNR. The committee will comprise stakeholder groups, including hunting/trapping organizations, wolf advocacy/education organizations, and agricultural/ranching organizations.
