*Parks, timber, trails and more on the agenda for DNR's December meetings*

The Department of Natural Resources is committed to providing Michigan residents the opportunity to share input and ideas on policy decisions, programs and other aspects of natural resource management and outdoor recreation opportunities.

One important avenue for this input is at meetings of the public bodies that advise the DNR and, in some cases, also set policies for natural and cultural resource management. Frequently check the DNR boards, commissions, committees and councils webpage [ [link removed] ] for updates.

The links below will take you to the webpage for each group, where you will find meeting details such as location and agenda (when finalized). Please check these pages often, as meeting details may change and sometimes meetings are canceled.

The DNR is accepting applications for an opening on the Snowmobile Advisory Workgroup [ [link removed] ], which consists of seven volunteers each serving four-year terms.
