DNR, the Conservation Congress and the online survey

Illinois Department of Natural Resources Director Marc Miller will be in town Thursday night to speak at the Flatlanders Chapter of Muskies Inc. meeting. The meeting is free and open to anyone who cares about hunting, fishing, waterways, or anything else under the DNR’s huge umbrella.

Miller will speak for a while and then take questions.

The meeting is at 7:30 p.m. at the VFW in Loves Park, 2018 Windsor Road.

I wrote about Miller on Friday. HERE’s a link. The DNR’s online survey was taken down Friday so ignore that reference in the column.

This weekend (Sept. 24-25) is the Illinois Conservation Congress. Wisconsin has had a Conservation Congress for 75 years and it seems to be working pretty well. Illinois hasn’t had one it about six years.

The purpose of the Congress is to have the people who use the resources the DNR manages to have a say. Read more HERE.

I’m going to attend. I’m secretary and membership chairman for the Flatlanders Chapter of Muskies Inc. so I’m very interested in how the DNR works with clubs like ours. Read more about the Flatlanders HERE.
