Forest attended this in Prairie du Chien along with perhaps 20some other citizens.
There were many small rules suggested to hunting and fishing regulations. Two citizen resolutions were put forward. One was by one Bob Ziel, one of our Conservation Congress representatives, to maintain the Natural Resources Board’s authority. The second, introduced by Forest, proposed a moratorium on new frac sand mining licenses until the DNR completes its strategic analysis and comes up with some findings and updated regulations. Both citizen resolutions passed by wide margins not only in Crawford County, but state-wide. The resolution for a state-side moratorium on frac sand mining failed in only one of the many counties it was proposed in and generally passed with broad margins. Hunters and fisherfolk want the state to put the breaks on this runaway industry!
