DNR board acknowledges donations to expand dog training and habitat restoration
Summary
At its Dec. 10 meeting the Department of Natural Resources board included consent items acknowledging a 1.5-acre pond donation for dog training at Richard Bong State Recreation Area and a $37,596 gift to the Bureau of Wildlife Management for native-plant and habitat work in the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway.
The Department of Natural Resources board listed two donated gifts on its Dec. 10 consent agenda that officials said will support recreation and habitat work.
The board acknowledged a donation from the Richard Bong Field Trial Association of 1.5 acres containing a technical dog-training pond, valued at $38,000, intended to expand dog-training and trialing opportunities at Richard Bong State Recreation Area. The speaker on the consent agenda described the gift as a contribution to the park’s training infrastructure.
Separately, the board acknowledged a $37,596 donation from the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin to the Bureau of Wildlife Management. The gift comes from the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway Fund and Endowment Fund and is designated to protect and restore native plant communities and enhance habitat for wildlife species in the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway.
Both items were presented as part of the consent agenda and not called out for separate discussion; the board did not record additional debate or a roll-call vote on these specific acknowledgments during the transcripted segments. The items will appear in the meeting record as consent acknowledgements.
