About the planning team

A DNR Wildlife Division workgroup is charged with developing a 10-year strategic plan to define priorities for both hunt/recreation and habitat management on the seven Wetland Wonders, also known as Managed Waterfowl Hunt Areas (MWHAs), and to provide management consistency between areas while still recognizing their uniqueness.
