The committee includes scientists, professors, land managers, conservationists and concerned citizens. The Conservation Planning and Research Committee will identify research needs for the state, develop conservation planning, and promote collaborative projects through partnerships. Several members of this committee work with the Upper Mississippi River & Great Lakes Region Joint Venture and the Appalachian Mountains Joint Venture on a regular basis.
