LANSING — Beginning with this Wednesday’s meeting of the Michigan Natural Resources Commission, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources plans to livestream all NRC meetings in an effort to make it easier for the public to learn about the work of the commission and stay engaged on topics of interest.

The commission meeting will start at 9:30 a.m. in Rooms M119-121 on the West Campus of Lansing Community College. The draft meeting agenda is available online; please note that the draft agenda could change leading up to the meeting.

NRC meetings take place monthly throughout the year. The majority are hosted in the greater Lansing area, but efforts are made to routinely travel to the Upper Peninsula, the northern Lower Peninsula and other regions of the state.

The Michigan Natural Resources Commission is a seven-member public body whose members are appointed by the governor, subject to the advice and consent of the Senate. The commission has exclusive authority to regulate the taking of game and sport fish and is authorized to designate game species in Michigan. Learn more at Michigan.gov/NRC.
