• Carrol L. Henderson – A National Legacy: Fifty Years of Nongame Wildlife Conservation in Minnesota

    Aŋpétu Téča Education Center, Roseville, MN 1910 County B Road West, Rm 207, Roseville, MN, United States

    Mr. Henderson will speak about his book “A National Legacy,” which captures the spirit and innovation behind the dedication required to drive lasting change in wildlife conservation. It highlights the significant and historic transition by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources from a focus on managing game species for hunters' benefit to a broader ecological approach, marked by the creation of the Nongame Wildlife Program in 1977. This progressive Minnesota program, driven mainly by Carrol L. Henderson, became a national model for other states to develop their own nongame wildlife programs.
