Today's notice:

  • Oppose SB 665: Setting an arbitrary wolf population goal in statute

Oppose SB 665: Setting an arbitrary wolf population goal in statute

Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose SB 665, which is before the Senate Committee on Financial Institutions and Sporting Heritage on Tuesday.

Wisconsin now has an adaptive, science-based wolf management plan focused on supporting a healthy wolf population and minimizing depredations. SB 665 works against this plan by requiring the Department of Natural Resources to establish a numeric statewide wolf population goal. This undermines the ability of the DNR to balance multiple goals and respond to the changing populations.

Conservation Notices of the Week (CNOW) announces the pro-conservation positions on issues before the Senate, Assembly and/or Governor in the week ahead to state legislators. Others wishing to follow activities in the state legislature also receive CNOW, including legislative staff, conservation voters, and media. All of these issues are tracked on the Vote Tracker. Issues in the CNOW may appear in the Conservation Scorecard, to be released in the summer of 2026.
