Stay safe in the field
As hunting seasons get underway, remember to prioritize your safety before, during, and after the hunt. Wear a life jacket if you’re waterfowl hunting on the water, wear a safety harness when you’re in the tree, and when you’re climbing up and down, and always follow the basic rules of safe firearms handling.
Grants for Urban and Community Forestry
The DNR is accepting applications for $12 million in grants to help communities plant, protect, and care for trees across the state. These Community Tree Planting and ReLeaf grants will support local efforts to address the impacts of emerald ash borer and grow healthier, more diverse community forests.
