JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – While summer time may be a ways off, it’s never too early to starting thinking about boat registration.

Game & Fish Wildlife Biologist Doug Leier says now is a great time to consider checking your boat registration.

Leier says the three-year period is up this year and boaters can be prepared to hit the waters right away without having to worry about it later.

Leier says landowners are also encouraged to start looking at different conservation programs.

Leier says they have private lands biologist, including Renae Schultz at the Jamestown Parks & Recreation Office. He says they’re available all across North Dakota to assist with some programs.
