Did the parks require an entrance fee?

Could that fee cover at least costs of fee collection and restroom cleaning?

Don’t shut down operations which are, or could be, self-funding.

Don’t shut down operations which are, or could be, self-funding.

One of the first things to go off line in the gov shutdown was license sales from the DNR; no fishing, hunting or trapping licenses sold. so the chief source of revenue for the department and not a small source of income generated from tourists is gone. But have no fear, the Minnesota DNR will continue to provide the following services:

• Conservation law enforcement
• Water treatment
• Bison herd care
• Hatchery maintenance and tree nursery care
• Soudan mine maintenance
• Pathology lab testing
• Dam safety and operations
• Dike-water control structure management
• Incident command team, including disaster response coordination
• Support for critical services
