June 2025 NRC Recap

Justin Tomei • June 12, 2025

The Natural Resources Commission met today in Bay City. 


There were no orders for information or action on the agenda. 


The big news was the commission brought back up the order to reinstate the year-round coyote season, and a vote will happen in August to satisfy posting and notice requirements. 


MUCC created the Coyote Coalition to put pressure on the NRC, and with today’s inaction, we know that it’s working. With the continued support of the coalition, we will continue fighting to protect proposal G. 


Consider joining the Coyote Coalition, and let the commission know that inaction is not acceptable, and to follow their legal charge and responsibility. 


Chair Becky Humphries announced new committee memberships. Wildlife Committee will be chaired by Commissioner John Walters, Governance, Finance and Policy will be chaired by Chair Humphries, Fisheries will be chaired by Commissioner Dave Anthony. 


There were no other orders for information or action. 


The next meeting returns to Lansing on July 10.
