New Website Up and Running
The Minnesota Chapter is transitioning its website from its former location to be hosted by The Wildlife Society (main/international). This move will include a revamp of the website to match themes consistent across all Wildlife Society chapter and section subunits, as well as TWS. As part of the move MNTWS welcomes a new webmaster, Lindsey Shartell, who will recreate and maintain the website in its new location. Many thanks are due to our current webmaster, John Loegering, for maintaining and updating our website for many years. Feedback on the new website is welcomed from all members.
