Deer camp survey results, a resolution in support of a youth bear hunt and a presentation on the DNR-U.S. Forest Service joint Good Neighbor Authority initiative will be discussed among the agenda items when the department’s Eastern Upper Peninsula Citizens’ Advisory Council meets April 15 in Newberry.

The meeting will be from 6 to 8:30 p.m. EDT in the basement conference room at the Luce-Mackinac-Alger-Schoolcraft Health Department in Newberry, located at 14150 Hamilton Lake Road.

The Eastern U.P. Citizens’ Advisory Council and its western U.P. counterpart meet alternating months throughout the year.

The public can participate in the session by offering comments to the discussion during two specified periods at the meeting (for instructions on comment procedures, see Michigan.gov/UPCAC).

The DNR’s eastern and western Upper Peninsula citizens’ advisory councils are designed to provide local input to advise the DNR on regional programs and policies, identify areas in which the department can be more effective and responsive, and offer insight and guidance from members’ own experiences and constituencies.

The council members represent a wide variety of natural resource and recreation interests. Agenda items are set by the council members, and council recommendations are forwarded to the DNR for consideration.
