• About the Councils
For some time, we have been managing our natural resources using an ecosystem approach, which integrates biological, social and economic factors. Although significant public involvement, including the formation of work groups, has paralleled this process with good results, there is an opportunity to establish citizens' advisory councils in the Upper Peninsula to assist the Department on broad-based decision making.

• UP Citizens' Advisory Councils Charter 
A natural outgrowth of our ecosystem-based management is to more fully involve citizens and sportsmen and sportswomen in providing input into the Department's decision making processes.

• Nomination Form 
Nominations are now being taken for interested citizens to sit on the council. The nomination form should be filled out in full and returned to the address on the form. Qualified and interested citizens should apply.
