MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin Conservation Congress invites all Wisconsinites to take part in its annual spring hearing process.

The WCC is an independent organization of residents that advises the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources on how to responsibly manage natural resources. Each year residents have an opportunity to submit ideas as resolutions to the WCC.

Wisconsinites can submit proposed resolutions via an online process. Resolutions must meet the following criteria:

— The concern must be of statewide impact.

— The concern must be practical, achievable and reasonable.

— The concern must be within the mission and vision of the WCC.

An individual citizen may submit no more than two resolutions per year. Those interested in submitting a resolution are encouraged to reach out to the resolution review committee or their WCC county chair for guidance. A list of county chairs is at https://widnr.widen.net/s/trnsqppfp5/2024_25_delegate_roster.

Additional tips on preparing a resolution are available on the Spring Hearings webpage at https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/about/wcc/springhearing.

Resolutions will be accepted until Feb. 24. Spring hearing online input kicks off April 14.
