Take a look around the SORA website next week. Kim Lancaster from Webworks Creative is our web designer/manager and has done a wonderful job with the site. One of the new additions to the website is a 'comments' box where people can leave a comment or ask a question. Check it out and check back often to respond to comments or questions left on SORA.
Some of you may remember that the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources initiated some Wild Rice meetings last spring in conjunction with some of the changes in regards to regulations and management. That large group now has smaller subgroups includeing Regulation (made up of tribal and state Conservation Officers and others interested in regs); Management (state, tribal and some national folks); and finally, Education and Outreach. I am chair of the Education and Outreach committee and we will be holding a meeting in a couple of weeks to set up goals and identify our mission as an advisory group (although I'm not sure we have official "advisory" status - unclear). Anyway, please feel free to send ideas or comments in regards to education and outreach that you might like to see developed for the future. LET ME BE CLEAR: I am not aware that we have ANY money available, at this point we may just be looking at what priorities SHOULD be if money becomes available and WHO might be involved (tribal, state, SORA, feds, etc.).
That's all for now, stay safe if you are venturing into the woods this weekend for deer!
