What is the process used for reviewing lands?
A list of all State-owned, DNR administered parcels located outside of the DNR’s recently updated project boundaries was compiled. Each parcel was then evaluated by local DNR field staff including a wildlife biologist, fisheries biologist, forester and recreation specialist for natural resource and outdoor recreation values. The results of this initial review were further evaluated for title and deed restrictions, mineral values, recreation values and cultural resources. Based on this review, an initial recommendation for each parcel was developed and made available for public comment.
