Do you approve of the new Enterprise Agency pilot program for restructuring Wisconsin’s Department of Natural Resources?

DNR designated first Enterprise Agency in state government

MADISON, Wis. – Gov. Scott Walker this week designated the Department of Natural Resources as Wisconsin government’s first Enterprise Agency pilot through a memorandum of understanding between the Department of Administration and DNR.

Under the concept, DNR will be given increased operating flexibility to enable the agency to improve customer service and business support, as well as enhance its natural resources mission.

The pilot will be for the 2011-13 biennium.

"All over Wisconsin people are telling me good things are happening at DNR. We are working with staff to remove barriers to better serve the public and business community to help grow jobs in our state," DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp said. "The ideas for this pilot came from the DNR professionals and represent the best in innovative thinking. With the enterprise agency designation and tools, DNR can do much more with the staff and the resources it has.

"But this doesn’t come free, we will have to perform," she said, "and we know our progress will be monitored closely."

Hunt. Harvest. Help. New CWD website launched

MADISON – Hunters and landowners can learn more about what they can do to maintain a healthy deer herd and Wisconsin’s strong hunting traditions through a new website dedicated to sharing information on Chronic Wasting Disease.

The website, Know CWD, carries the theme of Hunt. Harvest. Help and features racing champion Matt Kenseth, a deer hunter and Cambridge, Wis., native, in a public service announcement talking about the importance of teamwork in tackling CWD.

"As a deer hunter, I'm concerned about CWD," Kenseth says in a video public service announcement on the website. "But it's going to take more than one person to slow the spread of CWD…It's a team effort Wisconsin. So get out there and hunt, harvest and help."
