  • Hoofer Mountaineering Club 800 Langdon St., Madison, WI 53706
    Hoofer Mountaineering Club 800 Langdon St., Madison, WI 53706 To: the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Re: implementation of Act 168, The Sporting Heritage Act For the sake of public safety, we recommend that the Department of Natural Resources and the Natural Resources Board close to hunting and trapping those non-designated use areas in State Parks that are regularly used for rock climbing, ice climbing, and bouldering. Our specific recommendations are detailed below. Climbing in State Parks Rock climbing is a traditional outdoor recreation with nearly a century-long history in Wisconsin, and is recognized as such in NR 1.33. Rock climbing, like hunting, is allowed solely in non-designated use areas. Some DNR personnel are aware that climbing goes on at some State Parks, but none have a thorough understanding of when and where rock climbing occurs. NR 1.33 stipulates that rock climbing be considered in planning, but for decades this has been at best inconsistent. The previous hunting maps and the currently proposed hunting and trapping maps for State Parks demonstrate this lack of knowledge and lack of consideration. Our recommendations are intended to fill that gap. Hunting and Climbing What hunters gain from Act 168 are simplified regulations. No more special permits for State Parks. If hunting is in season anywhere, it is in season in State Parks, and with any weapon for any game. Trapping will essentially be another form of hunting. Both the NRB and the DNR have stated that implementation of Act 168 should give hunters the maximum opportunity to hunt, without displacing other park users.

  • Wisconsin's John Muir
    Wisconsin’s John Muir An Exhibit Celebrating the Centennial of the National Park Service “Oh, that glorious Wisconsin wilderness! “Everything new and pure in the very prime of the spring when Nature’s pulses were beating highest and mysteriously keeping time with our own!” “Wilderness is a necessity... Mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.” This exhibit was made possible through generous support from the estate of John Peters and the Follett Charitable Trust Muir in Wisconsin “When we first saw Fountain Lake Meadow, on a sultry evening, sprinkled with millions of lightning- bugs throbbing with light, the effect was so strange and beautiful that it seemed far too marvelous to be real.” John Muir (1838–1914) was one of America’s most important environmental thinkers and activists. He came to Wisconsin as a boy, grew up near Portage, and attended the University of Wisconsin. After decades of wandering in the mountains of California, he led the movement for national parks and helped create the Sierra Club. But for much of his life, Muir’s call to protect wild places fell on deaf ears. Muir studied science in Madison but quit in 1863 without a degree, “...leaving one University for another, the Wisconsin University for the University of the Wilderness.” Muir’s letter to the classmate who taught him botany at UW The Movement for National Parks Yosemite Valley “Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike.” In 1872, Congress named Yellowstone the first national park.

    Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015) IMPLEMENTATION: Priority Conservation Actions & Conservation Opportunity Areas Prepared by: Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources with Assistance from Conservation Partners, June 30th, 2008 06/19/2008 page 2 of 93 Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015) IMPLEMENTATION: Priority Conservation Actions & Conservation Opportunity Areas Acknowledgments Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan is a roadmap of conservation actions needed to ensure our wildlife and natural communities will be with us in the future. The original plan provides an immense volume of data useful to help guide conservation decisions. All of the individuals acknowledged for their work compiling the plan have a continuous appreciation from the state of Wisconsin for their commitment to SGCN. Implementing the conservation actions is a priority for the state of Wisconsin. To put forward a strategy for implementation, there was a need to develop a process for priority decision-making, narrowing the list of actions to a more manageable number, and identifying opportunity areas to best apply conservation actions. A subset of the Department’s ecologists and conservation scientists were assigned the task of developing the implementation strategy. Their dedicated commitment and tireless efforts for wildlife species and natural community conservation led this document.
