ANNUAL SPRING HEARING AND PUBLIC INPUT OPPORTUNITY

The 2026 Spring Hearings were 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.

Thank you for providing your input through the Wisconsin Conservation Congress (WCC) and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Spring Hearing process. We are currently tabulating the results and will post them here as soon as they are available.

Public input received through this process is advisory to Natural Resources Board members, DNR staff and anyone working on these issues.
