2024 Habitat and Hunting Access Summit

Join us for the North Dakota Habitat and Hunting Access Summit Tuesday, December 17 from 4:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. at the Bismarck State College National Energy Center of Excellence (map).

Wildlife and fish require healthy habitats throughout their lifecycles in order to thrive.

Habitat loss across North Dakota is impacting both game and nongame populations.

These impacts trickle down, reducing the number of hunting licenses available and the quality of hunting and fishing experiences, threatening North Dakota's long standing traditions of hunting and fishing.

With 93% of North Dakota's land held in private ownership, access for hunting and fishing has also become a challenge.

The North Dakota Habitat Summit will address both these issues with presentations from state biologists and panel discussions that invite audience participation to look for productive ways forward.

Summit presentations will cover:

• the economic impacts of hunting and fishing in North Dakota,
• habitat changes,
• land access for hunting and fishing,
• the state of wildlife populations in North Dakota, and
• game management.

Attendees are encouraged to submit questions for the panel discussions prior to the summit (questions may be submitted when registering to attend the summit).
