2025 Fish and Wildlife Advisory Committee Application

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking applicants for the Fish and Wildlife Advisory Committee (FWAC). The Fish and Wildlife Advisory Committee began operating in 2025 and replaced the citizen oversight committees that operated from 1994 to 2024. The committee reviews annual outcomes achieved from game and fish fund expenditures, and it also makes recommendations to the legislature and the commissioner related to fish and wildlife investments and policy in general.

Please review the committee charter on this page: Fish and Wildlife Advisory Committee | Minnesota DNR carefully before filling out your application. Applications are accepted until 4:30 p.m., Friday, October 3, 2025.
