I sent an email to the DNR opposing this hunt. Not that it will do any good. I suppose they want the fees more than anything. So, sell nature.

I'll quote it for those who don't want to register to read it: Duluth’s Jan Green, a longtime birder and environmental activist, is concerned about how the sandhill crane hunting season came to be. “In terms of public input, there was no public process,” Green said. “It would seem it’s just DNR staff talking to the federal (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) staff without the citizens in Minnesota being involved in this discussion at all.” Green says she is not opposed to a crane season. “I’m worried more about the process than anything else,” she said.

There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter. --Rachel Carson Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail. ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
