We’d Love Some Feedback

A chalkboard with the word "feedback" written with white chalk.

OutdoorIllinois Wildlife Journal has been in existence for a couple of years now and we’d love some feedback from our readers.

What types of articles have been of interest to you?

Which stories resonated with you?

What topics or types of articles would you like to see published in the future?

Have you taken action for conservation as a result of any articles? If so, how (such as, mentored a new hunter, participated in a volunteer work day, land management actions to benefit wildlife).

Please drop us a note at kandrewswright@lc.edu.

Thank you.

Kathy Andrews Wright retired from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources where she was editor of OutdoorIllinois magazine. She is currently the editor of OutdoorIllinois Journal.
