DNR Seeking Public Comment On Updated Wisconsin Wildlife Action Plan

Sept. 14, 2025

MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking public feedback on the updated Wisconsin Wildlife Action Plan for 2025-2035.

The Wisconsin Wildlife Action Plan is a voluntary plan that focuses on the conservation of rare and declining species and their habitats. First published in 2005, it was updated in 2015 to satisfy funding eligibility through the federal State Wildlife Grant Program – the only nationwide program to prevent wildlife from becoming endangered.

Over time, the plan has become a resource to help partners, organizations and individuals identify and implement important conservation actions to keep native plants, animals and habitats healthy. Opportunities to share knowledge and technical input have been offered throughout the updating process over the last year.

For more information on the process and to explore the updated plan, visit the DNR’s Wisconsin Wildlife Action Plan webpage.

Questions and comments on the items above or other Wisconsin Wildlife Action Plan 2025-related topics can be sent to DNRWWAP@wisconsin.gov. by Sept. 24, 2025.
