✅ Trash unwanted bait
❌ Never dump bait in water
✔️ You can reuse minnows on the same water. To use them elsewhere, make sure no lake water or other fish were added.

Our public lands are an asset that benefit everyone. There are millions of acres of public lands in Wisconsin that are open for hunting, fishing, hiking, wildlife viewing and a multitude of other uses. Summertime especially can be very busy for certain areas, but you don’t have to let the crowds deter you from getting outside and enjoying public lands. Pictured here is the Glacial Drumlin State Trail.

When you are out there this summer, try to remember a few tips to help others (and yourself) have a good time on public lands:

– Practice the seven “Leave No Trace” principles: Plan ahead. Camp and travel on durable surfaces. Dispose of waste properly. Leave it the way you found it. Minimize campfire impacts. Respect wildlife. Be considerate of others.
– Seek out places with less visitors. There are many places in Wisconsin that see very few visitors, if you’re looking for solitude try to get further off the beaten path. The DNR’s Public Access Lands webpage is a great place to do some research: https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/lands
– Share your passion for public lands by volunteering. Volunteering is a great way to stay in the know and be involved in improving your favorite places. Many wildlife areas have Friends groups that organize clean ups and work parties. Consider joining an advocacy organization whose work and values align with your own, or participate locally in the “Adopt A Fish or Wildlife Area” program.
– Know the rules. Be courteous of private landowners and respectful of quiet hours. Please follow seasonal regulations. Be aware of property boundaries and avoid trespassing.
– Lastly, remember that public lands are for everyone, so give other folks out there a little space. We may enjoy nature in different way, but we can all still enjoy our public lands together.

Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) can produce toxins that make people and pets sick. Choose clear water, rinse off after swimming, and keep pets from drinking or playing in suspicious water.

Did you know that pet waste is a common source of bacteria and nutrient pollution in urban waterways? This happens when owners don’t pick up after their pets and stormwater washes the p**p into our rivers and lakes. When this happens, the high concentrations of bacteria and nutrients can cause algal blooms, harm aquatic life, and impact the health of both humans and wildlife. Help us prevent stormwater pollution by always picking up after your pet. Visit respectourwaters.org to learn more.
