MUCC Policy Board Wrap-Up

Justin Tomei • June 24, 2025

Conservationists from across the state meet to discuss the future of Natural Resource Policy

MUCC conservation policy board (CPB) members considered three resolutions at the May 31 meeting.


Resolution #A would have MUCC support the creation of a panfish management plan, this resolution was passed to the 2026 annual convention.


Resolution #B "The Resource Comes First" would have directed MUCC staff to prioritize the resource in areas where our existing policies are silent. After a large amount of discussion this resolution was sent back to the writer due to ambiguity in terms of its application.


Resolution #C would have directed MUCC to acknowledge the role of social science and the human element in game management decisions, ultimately CPB members decided that this was not consistent with MUCC's mission, and discarded the resolution as such.


Our next meeting is August 16 at the MTPCA convention in Evart, at the Osceola County Fairgrounds. The details are going to be worked out in the coming weeks with MTPCA, but you will be able to see all the MTPCA convention has to offer, look for registration to go up after

July 4. 


Special thanks to the Straits Area Sportsmen's Club and the Moose Lodge for their hospitality, there were great hosts, as they always are when we go to the UP.


The policy board website is up to date with resolutions and information for the August meeting.
