C.B. Bylander: When the time is right, give the DNR an earful on management of Minnesota wildlife areas
Numbers tell tales.
And sometimes the same numbers tell very different tales depending upon how they are used. Let’s use Minnesota’s Wildlife Management Area system as an example. To its credit, Minnesota has about 1,500 WMAs totaling some 1.4 million acres. About 40% of this acreage – or roughly 492,000 acres – are covered by plans that guide management, work planning, accomplishment measuring and more.
