WMA/AMA System Planning

Please take this opportunity to review and provide your input on the draft Roseau River WMA management plan, posted on the DNR's Roseau River WMA web page. Following this public review period, the DNR will revise the plan to address input received and will release a final version of the plan.

Roseau River WMA’s 75,163 acres consist of a mosaic of wetlands, woodlands, forest, shrublands, grasslands and peatlands that provide extensive outdoor recreation opportunities. The WMA contains 10,600 acres of managed shallow water wetlands, 17.5 miles of river, 12 oxbows, and nine moist soils cells that provide important breeding, nesting and migration habitat for waterfowl. Roseau River WMA's management plan was last revised in 1980 and the 2025 update addresses environmental changes, advances in scientific knowledge and changes in public values and use.
