Wolf Plan Update
So far in the wolf plan update process, the DNR has conducted a scientific public opinion survey, consulted with technical experts and tribal staff, convened a 20-member wolf advisory committee, and solicited public input. Public input in 2020 included virtual open houses, educational webinars, and an opportunity to participate in the discussion forum and questionnaire below. Public review of the draft plan occurred in summer 2022. The DNR is currently finalizing the plan, which will be available on the wolf plan webpage.
