Fisheries and Wildlife Advisory Groups

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) relies on public advisory groups and task forces as one way to work with Minnesotans to achieve the department's mission. Some are open-ended and others are limited in duration. Membership design differs according to the purpose and sometimes provisions in statute. Participation in one of these appointed roles is one way that Minnesotans can contribute ideas and perspectives.

As an applicant for appointment to a DNR advisory committee, data collected from you is classified as private under Minnesota Statutes, section 13.601, subd.3, except for the following public data: name, city of residence, education and training, employment history, volunteer work, awards and honors, prior government service, and veteran status. Once appointed, additional data becomes public, including a designated email address or a phone number, or both at your request. All application data will be used to determine your qualifications as an applicant, evaluate applicants and to contact you. You are not required by law to provide this information. However, if you do not provide it, DNR will not be able to determine how well suited you are for the position or to contact you. Your private data will be available to DNR personnel whose work duties or assignments require access, to those who are assisting with the application review and evaluation, to those as required or allowed by state or federal law or pursuant to court order and to those with your written consent.

Individuals with a disability who need a reasonable accommodation to apply for or participate in an advisory group, please contact Kelly Wilder (kelly.wilder@state.mn.us or 651-259-5182). Calls from Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) users are welcome.
