DNR's two-person leadership of fish and wildlife won't be blended

The agency considered melding top spots but listened to objections from active and retired managers

The Fish and Wildlife Division of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will stick to its two-pronged structure after listening to objectors who said consolidation would diminish services to hunters and anglers.

"We've decided NOT to make dramatic changes to regional, research or habitat team organization structures," Fish and Wildlife Director Dave Olfelt wrote in a recent memo to staff.

The decision ends more than two years of angst for active and retired resource managers who opposed the idea of unifying leadership jobs that now run in pairs.
