The OLA informed DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen of the review in a March 1 letter that noted that the legislative auditor recently completed a preliminary assessment of the allegations.

While paying attention to the way his kids learn, Jordan Ross noticed something that started his gears turning. They lacked enthusiasm for learning about the outdoors, watersheds, and conservation through the traditional avenues. The way these subjects were taught in the classroom didn’t excite or engage them.
“From observing them, the inquisitive side of learning, and curiosity element wasn’t there,” Ross said.
That wasn’t the case when he took them to a local stream with a kick net to turn up rocks and investigate what was crawling underneath.

Featured, Fishing, Wisconsin /

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) field wardens may have a good idea who a likely suspect may be simply by the body language they telegraph across the ice, even from a quarter-mile away.
Warden Audrey Royce knew she wanted to work in law enforcement, protecting natural resources. When she first visited an area of Oneida County, she knew it was the place she would like to be stationed.
