About the Councils

As an extension of our ecosystem-based management, we have developed two citizen advisory councils in the UP based on our east and west eco-region boundaries. Advisory councils can help the Department achieve its goals in the UP by serving two main functions: (1) providing the agency with information, ideas, emerging trends and initiatives in a setting that welcomes diverse interests, and (2) providing a vehicle for the DNR to inform key citizens with the expectation that they will, in turn, inform the broader public. These councils will interact with the Department to discuss and develop work priorities, which will result in a more engaged approach with our constituents. Once established, the independent advisory council concept will provide a formal mechanism for the citizenry to be involved with the DNR at the local level. The councils will serve in an advisory role for management initiatives they feel are priorities.
