North Fond du Lac is an applicant for the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program. The DNR wants citizen input.
NORTH FOND DU LAC – Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is looking for public input on a project to improve public drinking water.
North Fond du Lac is an applicant for Safe Drinking Water Loan Program funding to improve its public drinking water system, a project that would include replacing lead service lines throughout the village.
The project requires an environmental review, and the program has determined it will not result in significant adverse environmental effects.
Additionally, no further environmental review or analysis is needed before proceeding with funding.

Minnesota DNR to offer 4 elk tags for 2025 hunting season
Jun. 10—ST. PAUL — The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is offering four elk licenses this year — down from 10 in 2024 — and the tags will be limited to the Caribou-Vita area of northeast Kittson County, the DNR said Tuesday, June 10. Minnesota hunters have through Thursday, July 3, to apply for one of the four elk licenses, the DNR said. "We are reducing opportunities for elk harvest this year to make sure Minnesota's elk populations continue to thrive," Kelsie LaSharr, Minnesota DNR elk coordinator, said in a statement. "The number of permits available is based on the lower-than-expected number of elk we counted during our 2025 aerial flights and recent trends in population growth. "The DNR will continue to work with Tribal Nations, local landowners, agricultural producers, legislators, local government officials and state agencies to manage Minnesota's elk sustainably." The Red Lake Nation in March announced that it will offer 20 tribal elk tags in northwest Minnesota this year — double the number offered last year — for a season that will begin Sept. 15. Much of northwest Minnesota falls within an area covered by a treaty that Red Lake tribal leaders signed with the U.S. government on Oct. 2, 1863. As part of the 1863 Old Crossing Treaty, the Pembina and Red Lake bands of Ojibwe ceded some 11 million acres of land in northwest Minnesota and eastern and northeastern North Dakota to the U.S. government. There are currently three recognized herds in northwest Minnesota: Grygla, Kittson Central and Caribou-Vita. The Grygla area zone remains closed to state-licensed elk hunters, and this year, the Kittson Central zone will also be closed to state-licensed hunters. The Red Lake Band, meanwhile, will offer 10 "either-sex" tags good for either a bull or a cow elk and 10 "antlerless" tags, Jay Huseby, wildlife director for the Red Lake DNR, told the Herald in March. The band won't be taking any elk from the Grygla herd, which has lagged below management goals for more than a decade, Huseby said. The Minnesota DNR tallied 63 antlerless elk and 12 bulls in the Kittson Central herd near Lancaster in early January during its annual winter aerial survey. By comparison, the DNR counted 50 antlerless elk and 25 bulls in the Kittson Central herd during the 2023 survey. The DNR didn't fly the elk survey in 2024 because there wasn't enough snow to accurately spot elk from the air. All of the elk in the Caribou-Vita survey block, where the herd ranges between northeast Kittson County and Vita, Manitoba, were on the Canadian side of the border during the January 2025 survey. The DNR counted 128 antlerless elk and six bulls on the Manitoba side of the border. That was down from 227 elk — 96 in Minnesota and 131 in Manitoba — during the 2023 survey, but the DNR only surveyed the first 4 3/4 miles of Manitoba this year, LaSharr told the Herald in a February story, an area that represented about 25% of the Manitoba survey block. The DNR counted 18 antlerless elk and six bulls in the Grygla herd, down from 18 antlerless elk and 11 bulls in 2023. Minnesota hunters can apply for one of two seasons: * Two licenses are available to harvest either a bull or antlerless elk in the Caribou-Vita (Zone 30) during the A season, Saturday, Sept. 13, through Sunday, Sept. 21. * Two licenses are available to harvest an antlerless elk in the Caribou-Vita (Zone 30) B season, Saturday, Sept. 27, through Sunday, Oct. 5. This is a once-in-a-lifetime hunt for Minnesota residents. Successful applicants who choose not to purchase a permit will be eligible for future elk hunts and receive an application point toward their 10-year application history preference. Given the reduction in available state permits this year, no tags will be available for the 10-year application history pool or for eligible agricultural landowners who reside within elk range, the DNR said. Hunters must select a season and can apply individually or in parties of two at any license agent, online at or by telephone at (888) 665-4236. There is a nonrefundable application fee of $5 per hunter. Total license cost for selected applicants is $288. Successful hunters must present the animal within 24 hours of harvest for registration and collection of biological samples to screen for diseases or other health-related issues. In 2024, 4,307 individuals or parties (up to two people) applied for one of the 10 state-issued elk licenses, DNR statistics show. If a similar number of individuals or parties apply this year, the odds of drawing a tag would be about 0.093%, or 1 in 1,077. * On the web: More information is available on the DNR's elk hunting webpage at .

Residents shocked after unexpected creature wanders into backyard: 'The police don't want us to go outside'
A bear wandered into a backyard in Prince George's County, Maryland, forcing residents to take their Memorial Day plans indoors, NBC4 Washington reported. The young bear, approximately 18 months old, according to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, lounged in a tree in a backyard around noon. "We were going to the playground with my daughter. We canceled because the police don't want us to go outside," one resident said, per NBC4 Washington. The bear stayed in the tree until 3:30 p.m. Then, DNR officers relocated it to a wildlife management area. While some Langley Park residents thought the encounter was exciting and memorable, such occurrences reflect a broader pattern. Close encounters between humans and wildlife are becoming more frequent. The cause is habitat loss, and it's happening on a global scale. In 2024, the World Wildlife Fund reported a catastrophic 73% decline in wildlife populations worldwide between 1970 and 2020. Freshwater species (85%) suffered the steepest drops, followed by land (69%) and marine life (56%). These losses stem largely from habitat destruction, overharvesting, and changes to our climate, many of which are linked to human land use and food production systems. As urban development expands and forested areas shrink, wild animals are forced to search for food and shelter in suburban and residential areas. While the situation in Maryland ended peacefully, that is not always the case. Wildlife encounters not only put people at risk but also stress animals. Animals can get hurt or become disoriented and may face euthanasia by authorities. Should the government be paying people to hunt invasive species? Definitely Depends on the animal No way Just let people do it for free Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Globally, major restoration efforts are underway to reverse damage from decades of habitat destruction. Government initiatives and independent groups are working to revive ecosystems through reforestation, wetland recovery, and wildlife corridor development. Individuals can help by getting involved in local conservation efforts and staying informed about how urbanization impacts local ecosystems. Respecting wildlife, securing trash, and protecting green spaces are small but powerful ways to coexist with nature and prevent backyard surprises.

Cedarburg defers decision on studying the Woolen Mills Dam repair or removal
The future of Cedarburg's Woolen Mills dam along Cedar Creek will remain an open question after the Cedarburg Common Council June 9 declined to assess whether to remove it or renovate it. For years, the council has found itself circling back to the dam, weighing whether to front growing repair costs and preserve it as a symbol of the community's early settlement days. Residents on the other side of the coin support removing the dam, and with it, eliminate cyclical repair costs, flood risks, detriments to the creek's ecosystem and an aging public nuisance that's not a true historical landmark, they say. A 2024 analysis by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources classified the dam under its significant hazard label, meaning failure could cause significant property damage in the city's downtown area situated downstream. But for years, city discussions have not resulted in any action on either side. On June 9, the council again discussed whether to approve a roughly $60,000 feasibility study by Inter-Fluve, Inc. to assess options for removing or repairing the structure. However, after minimal discussion, the council didn't take action on the study, seeking to wait for updated cost estimates on repairing the dam before deciding. In 2020, repairs were estimated at $800,000, with around half of the cost offset by funds from the DNR's Municipal Dam Grant Program. But decisions on those repairs were kicked down the road. Five years later, the cost is likely higher. The updated cost estimate will likely come in during the fall after engineering firm Ramboll assesses the site, members of the council said. The city approved Ramboll's contract for the analysis in November of 2024. At the June 9 meeting, residents and experts spoke for and against paying for the study. Riverkeeper Cheryl Nenn of Milwaukee Riverkeeper spoke about the benefits of removal, saying the dam is aging and in disrepair. At previous council meetings, she's explained that removing the dam would be cheaper for the city in the long run and healthier for the creek ecosystem. Cedarburg resident Chuck Buehler told council members that the intrinsic value of the dam is a very important part of the community's history and culture. He prepared a whole speech, and said he expected the council to disagree with him. Instead, he was pleasantly surprised by their rejection of the study. 'I wasted a week on this,' he said. Another resident, Marc Sanders, said the dam serves no purpose and isn't historic, since it was built after the Pioneer Era dams on Cedar Creek washed away. "You're just kicking the can down (the road)," Sanders said. "This is going to keep coming up, year after year. In 10 years, 20 years, 100 years, you're going to have to keep fixing and replacing these dams. It's not a good use of funds." "The creek was beautiful before the dams, it's beautiful after the dams, and it would be beautiful without the dams through the city of Cedarburg," he said.
