Michigan’s Department of Natural Resources will hold September meetings that include fisheries, timber, and trails among the topics.

Public bodies that advise the department, and that sometimes establish rules for managing natural and cultural resources, offer residents a way to contribute thoughts on policies, programs, and outdoor recreation.

People should visit the department’s webpage listing boards, commissions, committees, and councils often for current information. Each group’s page lists the place and, once ready, the agenda. Details can shift and sessions can be called off.
