DNR FORUM IS OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS, RAISE ISSUES
To the Editor:
The vast natural resources of Morrison and Crow Wing counties are some of our communities’ greatest assets. The lakes, streams, and forests that surround the Greater Brainerd area are more than just the places we live. Our unique outdoors are essential to our livelihoods and local economies - it’s how we make our living.
So it is critical that we maintain our natural resources, and put real conservation efforts into the way we go about our lives.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is an important partner in that effort. Unlike many urban and suburban communities, the DNR plays a big role in our daily lives. From invasive species, docks and platforms, hunting licenses and lake improvement districts, people in our region interact with the DNR continually.
We hear from our constituents with DNR-related issues all the time. To give our constituents a chance to ask questions of the DNR staff, we have organized a public forum on Wednesday, November 18 beginning at 6:00pm.
Bob Meier, DNR Assistant Commissioner of Policy and Government Relations, and other DNR staff will be on hand to give a short presentation. They will provide information on a variety of topics, including the APM program and the Shoreland rules revision, and take questions from the audience.
The meeting will be held at the Northland Arboretum, 14250 Conservation Drive in Brainerd. We hope to see you there.
