Update on DNR bear permit

On Sept. 23, 2014, the DNR issued a final decision regarding the bear research permit issued to Dr. Lynn Rogers. The decision was consistent with the agency’s original decision in July 2013 to not renew his permit and with the recommendations of an administrative law judge, who issued her findings last May. This decision means the agency will no longer provide a research permit to Dr. Rogers to collar bears or to place den cameras in bear dens.

This decision also concludes a legal process stipulated by Ramsey County District Court Judge John H. Guthmann on July 29, 2013.
