 INSTANT SURVEY VOTE ON - POLL s531Do you support the federal lawsuit by Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Pennsylvania to force Chicago to close two navigation locks to prevent Asian carp from entering the Great Lakes? Background: Wisconsin recently joined four other Great Lakes states in a lawsuit against the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago to force changes on the Chicago River that are hoped will halt the migration of Asian carp into Lake Michigan. The lawsuit also names the US Army Corps of Engineers as a defendant. The bill was introduced shortly after the first Asian carp was found just six miles from Lake Michigan, above an electrical barrier designed to deter carp from moving into the lake.

| Comments sought on revised plan to address chronic wasting disease in Wisconsin MADISON – The public has an opportunity to comment on a revised draft plan that would guide the Department of Natural Resources' chronic wasting disease (CWD) management efforts for the next 15 years. “We have data about the devastating effects of CWD on deer herds in Colorado and Wyoming,” said Davin Lopez, CWD project leader. “We'll be using these data along with our experience and knowledge gained over the past eight years in Wisconsin to guide our future actions as we fight to protect our deer herd and our deer hunting tradition.”  The 15-year CWD Response Plan reflects input from a diverse number of sources, including a citizen stakeholder advisory group, the Wisconsin Conservation Congress, and an independent panel of experts in animal disease and other related fields from around the country that reviewed and suggested modifications to the plan. “Nonetheless, no matter how strong the plan is, it will only be successful if it has the support and associated active participation of our partners and the public,” Lopez said. “Successfully controlling and managing CWD in Wisconsin will require a sustained effort over many years, likely far beyond this 15-year plan. It is very challenging for everyone involved, but the alternative of letting the disease spread uncontrolled is much and unacceptably worse.” The CWD Response Plan is available on the DNR website. Comments can be submitted using a form available on the website. Those without Internet access can call DNR at (608) 264-6046 to request a hard copy of the plan. The deadline for submitting comments is August 8, 2010. For more information, Contact: Davin Lopez at 608-267-2948 or Tami Ryan at 608-266-3143. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Operation Deer Watch Begins Aug. 1! Citizens asked to help monitor deer reproduction in Wisconsin. August 1 marks the beginning of the two-month summer deer observation period during which DNR biologists, foresters, property managers, wardens and staff from the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Forest Service record the deer they see as they go about their daily duties.  Yearly since 1960, DNR employees have reported the location, deer type, and number of fawns seen from dawn to dusk for the summer months. These observations are one of many factors biologists use in developing deer population estimates and monitoring herd health. You can help by recording YOUR observations of deer during these two months. Direct observations from the field provide important information for deer managers, especially in northern and central forest deer management units (DMU) where harsh winter weather can have a much greater impact on fawn production the following spring. In the northern and central forest regions, observations are bunched into “population modeling” groups of 3 to 4 deer management units and plugged into the department's deer population estimating model. Each summer new observational data are put into the population estimate. In addition to DNR staff summer field observations, the department also mails a summer wildlife inquiry to about 5,000 rural landowners across the state. The landowner survey is not incorporated directly into population models but is compared to previous years to track population trends. Guidelines for Operation Deer Watch:
You can record your observations at the end of every day, or for times when you will not have access to a computer and the web and would like to keep track of your observations, please print out this tally sheet [35KB PDF] and record your sightings. Then periodically return to the survey page, using the tally sheet to help you fill out the survey. Please feel free to inform others of this survey. Thank you in advance for all your hard work and cooperation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
