Public invited to submit resolutions for WCC’s 2027 spring hearings

WISCONSIN – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is encouraging the public to submit resolutions to the Wisconsin Conservation Congress (WCC) for the spring 2027 hearings.

Ideas as proposed resolutions will be accepted through Monday, Feb. 8, 2027 at midnight.

The WCC is an independent organization of citizens that advises the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board and the DNR on how to responsibly manage Wisconsin’s natural resources.

An individual may submit no more than two resolutions per year, and resolutions must meet the following criteria:

• The concern must be of statewide impact.
• The concern must be practical, achievable and reasonable.
• The concern must be within the mission and vision of the Wisconsin Conservation Congress.

Those interested in submitting a resolution are encouraged to visit the DNR and WCC’s Spring Hearing webpage.

At the close of the submission process, the resolutions will be reviewed, and resolutions that meet the necessary criteria will be prepared for the 2027 Spring Hearings. Online and in-person input begins at 6 p.m. on Monday, April 12, 2027, and online input will continue until midnight on Wednesday, April 14, 2027.
