The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources works closely with Minnesotans to conserve and manage the state's natural resources, provide outdoor recreation opportunities, and provide for commercial uses of natural resources in a way that creates a sustainable quality of life.
Every year, in support of this mission, the DNR holds “the Roundtable,” a gathering of stakeholders and conservation leaders to discuss fisheries, wildlife, and ecological and water resource issues in Minnesota.
The 2026 Roundtable was held Friday, Jan. 9. Topics included the science behind fish and wildlife limits, the celebration of the 75th anniversary of Wildlife Management Areas, balancing management of aquatic vegetation, wake impact research, the future of fair chase and more.
