Support Citizen Resolutions to Protect Wisconsin’s Wildlife!
Sign up before August 16th to support wild lives
We are making progress for wildlife in Wisconsin, but we need your help.
Thanks to advocates like yourself, citizens passed county-level citizen resolutions to ban wildlife killing contests and protect coyotes from year-round open seasons at the recent Wisconsin Conservation Congress’ (WCC) 2023 Spring Hearing! Unfortunately, resolutions promoting the killing of predators and other wildlife also passed. But the Spring Hearing was only the beginning of the resolution approval process.
Wisconsin wildlife needs YOU to support wildlife friendly resolutions and oppose harmful ones.
The WCC’s ‘Fur Harvest’ and Outdoor Heritage & Education Advisory Committees will soon decide to either accept or reject some important resolutions affecting the lives and wellbeing of wild lives. The committees allow virtual meeting attendance and public comments, which provides us with a great opportunity to promote coexistence and broader values of care towards wildlife.
Your voice is needed! Join the upcoming WCC meeting(s) to show your support for restricting the killing and harming of wildlife!
