Fish, Wildlife & Parks offers a variety of opportunities for the public to comment on issues, rules, grants, environmental assessments, land acquisitions, development or enhancement projects, hunting and fishing regulations, and more that FWP administers.
Public participation is essential to our processes and decisions. To sign up for FWP news and information updates, click here.
FWP is proposing updates to fees for FWP-managed lands and waters, including state parks, fishing access sites, wildlife management areas and fisheries conservation areas, and is asking the public to weigh in on the changes.
The proposal would apply to both public and commercial use. FWP is proposing the updates because the current fee rules are outdated, recreation use has increased and the costs of keeping sites maintained, safe and open to the public have also gone up.
The public comment period on the following proposal will run through July 23, 2026, with final potential action at the August 19 meeting.
