Ask the DNR’ program airs live tonight
MARQUETTE — Michigan Department of Natural Resources staffers will answer viewer questions live Thursday night on “Ask the DNR,” broadcast on WNMU-TV13 in Marquette.
“Viewers will have a great opportunity to have their questions answered on the air by our knowledgeable and talented DNR personnel,” said John Pepin, DNR deputy public information officer. “Each of these programs allows viewers to learn a good deal of information about a wide range of DNR-related issues affecting the Upper Peninsula.”
The hour-long program will air live at 8 p.m. EDT, Thursday May 25 and be repeated at noon May 26, and be available about a week later online.
Scheduled DNR staffers to appear on this month’s program include Jennifer Johnson, fisheries biologist, Monica Joseph, wildlife biologist, Doug Barry, park supervisor, and Bobby Watson, conservation officer.
The group will likely field questions about spring and summer recreation activities, including fishing, camping, park events and boating, though the discussion is typically wide-ranging, based on viewer questions.
Prior to the program, questions for “Ask the DNR” can be emailed to John Pepin at pepinj@michigan.gov. Questions emailed should be received by 2 p.m. May 25 to be included on the show.
