ANNUAL SPRING HEARING AND PUBLIC INPUT OPPORTUNITY
Wisconsin Conservation Congress
The 2026 Spring Hearing will be held in each county in person on April 13 and online from April 13-15. The annual Spring Hearing is an opportunity for the public to provide input on a wide array of natural resources-related proposed rule change questions presented by the DNR and advisory questions presented by the Conservation Congress.
The public also has the opportunity to provide input on resolutions that members of the public previously submitted. The public is invited to submit resolutions for the 2026 Spring Hearing between Jan. 5 and Feb. 9. Resolutions may be submitted online through the 2026 Citizen Resolution Submittal Form, which will open on Jan. 5.
Public input received through this process is advisory to Natural Resources Board members, DNR staff and anyone working on these issues.
