[mou] GBBC - News Coverage

[MARTELL, Mark]

The Nongame Program is currently part of Ecological Services and =
Carrol's boss is Lee Pfannmuller.  So in that sense Nongame is not being =
taken away from Carrol and given to Lee.

Eco-Services is restructuring how their programs report within the DNR. =
A structure that will be the same as other Divisions in the DNR and =
result in people reporting to regional supervisors rather than directly =
to someone in St. Paul. Not everyone is, or will be, happy with this =
change.=20

Carrol, along with Pam, Katie, and everyone else in nongame run maybe =
the best nongame program in the country.  As birders, our financial =
support of the chickadee checkoff results in real benefits to all the =
birds we spend so much time watching.  I would encourage everyone to =
continue making contributions to this very valuable program.

How about what's going on with the Non Game Department in the DNR?  =20
Lee Pfannmuller says changes in the Nongame Program are part of an =20
overhaul of the Ecological Services Division, and the overhaul is =20
still in the proposal stage.  It looks like the Nongame Program is =20
being taken away from Carrol Henderson and put her department, =20
Ecological Services.  Why would you take it away from someone who has =20
been very successful with it?  It's seems fishy to me.  Where are the =20
contributions going to go?  I'd really like to know what's going  on =20
before I contribute to the check off on the tax form.
