Apr-30-2008 - This Saturday, May 3rd, at 1 PM in Douglas County, a new 1,000-acre Wildlife Management Area (WMA) will be dedicated to honor the 41-year career of Saint Paul's Roger Holmes. Holmes retired in 2000 after spending a decade as the Minnesota Department of Natural Resource's (DNR) director of the Fish and Wildlife Division and 18 years as the chief of the Wildlife Section. Minnesota's Build a Wildlife Area campaign played a critical role in the acquisition of the new WMA. Holmes was instrumental in the passage of the Minnesota Pheasant Habitat Stamp - Pheasants Forever's first-ever goal – and despite battling cancer has remained active with conservation and environmental causes. In the 1960s, Holmes worked as a game manager for the DNR in Douglas County, where he helped establish 22 wildlife areas. With the help of Minnesota's Build a Wildlife Area campaign, the Roger M. Holmes WMA in northeastern Douglas County – about 10 miles north of Alexandria – will bear his name and memorialize his life's work. The dedication ceremony will be conducted on the west side of Douglas County Road 69, just north of its intersection with Douglas County Road 3. ...more
