Board meetings and strategic plans from Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
The inaugural meeting focused on an orientation and discussion session to shape the new Community Grant Program and its first Small Grants funding opportunity. Key topics included the program's history, legislative purpose, and eligible activities such as natural resource preservation, trail maintenance, and aquatic invasive species management. Participants discussed the need to reduce barriers for small organizations, the potential for technical assistance to build grantee capacity, and the iterative co-creation process for developing the program's request for proposal. The council also explored governance, decision-making methods, and the logistics of future collaborative efforts.
This document outlines Minnesota's new, first-ever statewide white-tailed deer management plan, intended to guide deer management for the next decade through 2028. The plan includes eight broad goals covering topics such as communication, stakeholder satisfaction, population management, research, and maintaining healthy deer populations and habitats. A top priority is responding to chronic wasting disease (CWD) to eliminate it in wild deer and minimize new introductions. The plan also supports Minnesota's hunting heritage by focusing on hunter recruitment, retention, and reactivation, while aiming to minimize deer damage to native plants, agricultural crops, and forests, as well as mitigating negative societal impacts like deer-vehicle collisions and urban deer conflicts. It emphasizes increasing two-way communication with hunters, landowners, and other interested citizens.

Key discussions during the meeting involved updates on fisheries management. Staff reported on the stocking of yearling muskies with PIT tags, noting yearlings have significantly higher survival rates than fingerlings. The DNR outlined plans for a new year-round bass fishing season starting in 2026, including extending the catch and release period, which raised concerns about barotrauma for spring bass. Creel results indicated the state's walleye harvestable surplus is currently at 30% for the year, with discussions surrounding hooking mortality and temperature effects. The committee extensively debated proposed winter regulations for walleye, with consensus leaning towards a 3-fish limit (17-inch minimum, 1 over 20 inches), while a 10-fish bag limit without a size limit was generally supported for yellow perch. Fall assessment results showed a slight decrease in pounds per net, low numbers of age-0 perch, and concerns regarding the recruitment of the 2025 walleye class. Public comments addressed favoring a more liberal walleye regulation, concerns about tribal harvesting in specific areas, and requests regarding summer night fishing time extensions.
