The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources invites people interested in the Roseau River Wildlife Management Area to share their thoughts on a draft update of the WMA’s master plan, which will guide management of the popular hunting and wildlife-watching destination in northwestern Minnesota.

The updated master plan will be used to guide management of Roseau River WMA’s diverse wetlands, grasslands, shrublands and forests. It will include management goals, objectives and strategies for the WMA for the next 10 years. The previous management plan for the area was developed in 1980.

Minnesota DNR staff will host two events to provide an overview of the plan and its purpose, answer questions, and collect public input: an in-person meeting and an online meeting. Registration is not required for either event.

The online meeting is 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, April 8. A link to join the webinar is available on the Roseau River WMA page of the DNR website.

The in-person public meeting is 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, April 9, in the Trapper Room at Roseau City Center, 121 Center St. E., Roseau, MN 56751.The public can review the updated master plan and submit online comments by visiting the DNR website. Comments will be accepted through Friday, April 25.
