Abstract:

Records, mainly 1989-2000, of the state Conservation Congress, an independent citizens organization staffed by the Division of Legal Services of the Department of Natural Resources that provides information to the Natural Resource Board. Some issues prompted correspondence from individuals who did not attend the local or statewide meetings; extensively documented is mourning dove hunting for which only a sample has been retained.

Included are administrative memoranda, annual brochures submitted to each county congress, voting results and analyses, resolutions submitted by the counties, committee reports, and some proceedings of the annual statewide meetings. Summarized county voting results are present only for 1992, 1995-1996; for 1994, 1997-1999 this information may be found in the county packets. Conservation Congress proceedings have not been received for all years represented, although proceedings for 1992-1997 may be found in the Historical Society library. The years 1998-2003 are incompletely documented by the general records.

Earlier records of the Congress are included in “Wisconsin. Conservation Dept.: Subject Files” (Series 271) and “Wisconsin. Department of Natural Resources: Subject Files” (Series 2550).
