Fond du Lac Resource Management

The Fond du Lac Resource Management Division has a Wildlife Program responsible for the management of wildlife resources on Fond du Lac Reservation and in the 1854 and 1837 Ceded Territories. Among the various responsibilities of this program are recommending seasons and bag limits to the Band’s Reservation Business Committee, collecting and reporting harvest data, review of plans affecting wildlife resources and liaison work with the State of Minnesota and various tribal and federal agencies.

In addition, the program engages in habitat improvement projects, surveys for a variety of game and non-game critters and various research projects. Among others, this list includes prescribed burning, seeding of wild rice, impoundment construction, common loon, wood turtle, amphibian, ruffed grouse and moose surveys. Most of this work is coordinated with local state, federal and tribal agencies as well as other Resource Management Division Programs. In 2002 the Fond du Lac Band in partnership with the 1854 Authority, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the US Geological Survey, initiated a moose telemetry project in northeast Minnesota. The purpose of this study is to gain information on the population dynamics and movements of the moose herd.
