Wisconsin DNR Spring Hearing Results Published

Saturday, April 24th, 2021 -- 9:03 AM

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources announced the 2021 Spring Hearing questions and results are now available.   

Due to COVID-19, the in-person public meetings known as the Spring Hearings were canceled, but the public was still able to participate online from April 12-April 15. More than 12,600 people provided input. Statewide hearing results and the questions are available online here.  The Spring Hearing provides Wisconsinites with an opportunity to provide their input on a wide range of natural resource-related proposed rule changes and advisory questions presented by the DNR, Natural Resources Board, and Conservation Congress advisory questions, and to provide input on resolutions that citizens had previously submitted for inclusion. 

Public input received through this process is advisory to members of the natural resources board, department staff, and anyone who is working on these issues. No final decisions have been made at this time, rather results of this public input will be considered by the Conservation Congress, DNR and Natural Resources Board in the coming months.
