We’re hoping for a good turnout and look forward to having some real conversation about our state’s world-class woods, waters and wildlife.” The Michigan Natural Resources Commission is a seven-member public body whose members are appointed by the Governor, subject to the advice and consent of the Senate. The commission conducts monthly public meetings in locations throughout Michigan. Citizens are encouraged to become actively involved in these public forums.
