He has worked for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources as a wildlife biologist since 1984, spending at least a part of his time promoting the importance of wildlife management on private lands.

Alan Crossley was born and raised in Missouri where he received a B.S. in Wildlife Conservation and Management from Southwest Missouri State University in 1978.

Presentation:

Alan will present a field-level perspective on the DNR's approach to tackling Chronic Wasting Disease. He will focus his presentation on the real world challenges of trying to fight a disease in a free-ranging herd of animals, covering a 411-square mile area, owned by at least 2,800 different people, many of whom have widely divergent opinions on the Department's management plan.
