The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will be at Pheasant Fest at the Minneapolis Convention Center this weekend Feb. 17 to 19. If you're attending, the DNR encourages you to stop by its booth, #1235 at the center of Rooster Row. Chat with DNR leadership, DNR staff, ask questions and learn about DNR initiatives surrounding grassland conservation and upland hunting. You'll even be able to check out some of our cutting-edge fire equipment!
Additionally, at the Public Lands Pavilion at 2 p.m. Saturday, DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen will join a panel moderated by Outdoor News' Rob Drieslein to discuss Minnesota's Legacy Amendment, its successes, and threats to its future.
In 2008, Minnesota voters overwhelmingly passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota Constitution. Since that time, more than 27,000 projects have been funded across the state, leading to better habitat and public access.
Join us at Pheasant Fest to get excited about upland hunting and learn from conservation and hunting experts from across the nation. We hope to see you there.
