DNR Hosting Chronic Wasting Disease Information Meetings in Beltrami County

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is hosting two information meetings in Beltrami County about chronic wasting disease next week.

The focus of the meetings will be the impact of the previously discovered CWD in captive deer and its impact on this fall’s deer hunting season.

The meetings are scheduled on Tuesday, Sept. 28 in Bemidji in the commons at Bemidji High School and Wednesday, Sept. 29 in Kelliher in the commons at Kelliher High School. People unable to attend in-person can register to participate virtually in the Bemidji meeting.

Both meetings are scheduled from 6-8 PM.

People planning to attend either in-person or virtually need to register and submit questions ahead of time at mndnr.gov/cwd.
