Among agenda items selected by council members, the group is scheduled to receive updates involving Trail No. 2 in Gogebic County and the Lake Linden trail re-opening in Houghton County, a brief review of the Great Lakes fishing agreement, a report from the U.P. habitat workgroup meeting, and discuss feedback received recently on the recent deer season.

The DNR’s eastern and western Upper Peninsula citizens’ advisory councils are designed to provide local input to advise the DNR on regional programs and policies, identify areas in which the department can be more effective and responsive and offer insight and guidance from members’ own experiences and constituencies.

The council members represent a wide variety of natural resource and recreation interests. Agenda items are set by the council members and council recommendations are forwarded to the DNR for consideration.
