Multiple bills during the current Minnesota legislative session have proposed the transfer of state-owned lands to tribal nations, and on April 2 a leading voice for public lands in the state offered an official statement on the controversy.
As part of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ Deer Management Initiative process, several members of the group have collaborated with a social scientist from the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Michigan State University to craft a questionnaire for the public, aimed at assessing people’s opinions and perceptions about deer.
The initiative, established earlier this year, is working to address current and future deer-related challenges facing the DNR and the Michigan Natural Resources Commission.
