Wisconsin’s Wolves Need
Your Voice This Week
WAC Meeting • February 26 • Comments Due Feb. 24
The Wisconsin DNR’s Wolf Advisory Committee meets this Thursday, February 26 — and they will spend the afternoon discussing future wolf harvest seasons. Your voice matters. Written comments are due Tuesday, February 24 by noon.
🗓 Wolf Advisory Committee Meeting
Date: Thursday, February 26, 2026
Time: 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. (CST)
Location: Lincoln County Service Center, Suite 102 — 801 N. Sales St., Merrill, WI 54452 (+ Virtual via Zoom)
Contact: Danielle Deming — Danielle.Deming@wisconsin.gov | 715-459-8365
Public Comment (in-person or written only)
Wolf management updates
WAC feedback on management objectives and priorities
Wolf education and outreach efforts
🚨 Discussion on elements of future wolf harvest seasons
📣 What to Say in Your Comment
Tell the WAC that Wisconsin’s wolves deserve science-based protection — not another rushed harvest season driven by politics. Remind them of the ongoing federal and state litigation, tribal treaty rights, and the documented failure of past hunts to achieve any legitimate management objectives.
You can also attend the Zoom meeting and register to attend in person. But your written comment — submitted by noon Tuesday, February 24 — ensures your voice is on the record before committee members walk in the door.
Email Danielle.Deming@wisconsin.gov by noon, Tuesday, February 24, 2026.
To register for verbal in-person comment, email the same address by the same deadline.
We Are So Close.
Help Us Cross the Finish Line.
Our current fundraising campaign ends soon — and we only need $216.15 more to hit our goal.
← $216.15 to go!
Goal 🎯
- Funding our legal challenges against the Wisconsin wolf management plan
- Supporting our attorneys fighting HR 845 federal wolf delisting
- Keeping our team at WAC meetings and legislative hearings — like this one
- Sustaining our 23-affidavit white paper and ongoing investigative work
- 100% grassroots — no foundation strings, no compromises
🐺 Donate Now — Close the Gap
Every dollar gets us to 100% • No amount too small
Thank you for standing with Wisconsin’s wolves. The WAC meeting this Thursday is a critical moment — submit your comments, show up if you can, and if you’re able, please make a donation to help us reach our goal.
For the wolves,
