Upper Peninsula staffers from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources will appear live on television Thursday night to answer viewer questions on “Ask the DNR” on WNMU-TV13.

The hour-long program, hosted by Mike Settles, will air live at 8 p.m. EDT, Thursday, Oct. 3.

Panelists will include U.P. Field Deputy Stacy Welling-Haughey of Marquette, fisheries biologist Jennifer Johnson of Norway, wildlife biologist Brian Roell of Marquette and conservation officer Rob Freeborn who patrols Schoolcraft County.

Topics will be focused on fall activities including fishing and hunting, but the discussion is typically wide-ranging based on viewer interests.

Viewers are reminded to leave their name, city and phone number when calling in questions. Those questions not answered on the air will be answered by DNR staffers in returned phone calls following the program.

This broadcast is being sponsored by U.P. Whitetails of Marquette County.

An archive of past Ask the DNR shows is available online.

Show dates for the rest of the 2024-2025 season include Nov. 7, Dec. 5 and April 3.

To phone questions in during the live telecast, call 1-800-227-9668. Questions may also be submitted via email at dtv13@nmu.edu.
