Beginning with the Wednesday, Feb. 11, meeting of the Michigan Natural Resources Commission, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources plans to livestream all NRC meetings in an effort to make it easier for the public to learn about the work of the commission and stay engaged on topics of interest.
The commission meeting will start at 9:30 a.m. in Rooms M119-121 on the West Campus of Lansing Community College, 5708 Cornerstone Drive, in Lansing. The draft meeting agenda is available online; please note that the draft agenda could change leading up to the meeting.
NRC meetings take place monthly throughout the year. The majority are hosted in the greater Lansing area, but efforts are made to routinely travel to the Upper Peninsula, the northern Lower Peninsula and other regions of the state.
The Michigan Natural Resources Commission is a seven-member public body whose members are appointed by the governor, subject to the advice and consent of the Senate. The commission has exclusive authority to regulate the taking of game and sport fish and is authorized to designate game species in Michigan. Learn more at Michigan.gov/NRC.
The meeting will start at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (U.S. and Canada) and be livestreamed via a Zoom webinar. Connection options are offered below. You do not need to have Zoom installed on your computer or mobile device in order to livestream the NRC meeting.
Anyone needing additional accommodations to effectively participate in this meeting is asked to contact the DNR at 517-284-6367 or NRC@Michigan.gov at least five business days before the meeting. The DNR will make every reasonable effort to accommodate requests, at no charge.
Constructive feedback about the livestream experience is appreciated and also may be shared via NRC@Michigan.gov.
