The Advisory Board is statutorily created to advise the agency on long range policies to assist in guiding the protection and conservation of renewable resources of the state and recommend changes in hunting and trapping seasons and bag or possession limits. They also recommend to the Director which projects receive funding in bike, boat, and Open Space Lands Aquisition and Development (OSLAD) grant programs. Members serve six year terms and are appointed by the Governor. The Board holds quarterly meetings with time allotted for public comment on any topic.In other words, NRAB hears proposals from the DNR and other constituents in order to recommend changes within hunting and fishing seasons, as well as our state parks.
Each quarter NRAB meets to discuss what has happened in the last few months and to discuss any of those possible changes.
Over these past years as we have attended these meetings Capitol Outdoors has realized how there is a gap in how this information travels to the public. That is why starting at the first 2018 meeting of NRAB we will be broadcasting these meetings live on our Facebook. This is so that you the hunter, angler and outdoor enthusiast are given the opportunity to be as informed as possible.
