Join MUCC in clearing shooting lanes for a new public hunting blind within the Kleekamp Tract of the Gladwin State Game Area in Clare County off of S. Rogers Avenue in Harrison on Saturday, March 5, 2022.

After enhancing wildlife habitat by building brush piles for small game like rabbit/hare and ruffed grouse for the past three years at this location, MUCC’s OTG program is happy to return to the area to assist in the clearing of shooting lanes for the newly-placed ADA-accessible hunting blind on this parcel of public land.

Volunteers are asked to bring their own work gloves if possible. Volunteers are also invited to bring their own chainsaws for felling, limbing, and bucking small trees to clear the shooting lanes, but it is not mandatory. MUCC will provide two chainsaws and an assortment of hand saws and loppers for smaller brush clearing.

Volunteer registration closes on March 3, 2022. Free lunch and an OTG volunteer t-shirt or OTG carabiner mug are provided for all registered volunteers.

Please contact MUCC Habitat Volunteer Coordinator Kristina Kennedy at kkennedy@mucc.org  with questions regarding this event or the OTG program.

MUCC celebrates a successful Clinton River Cleanup

Rochester Hills, MI — On the Ground, MUCC’s volunteer stewardship program, celebrated its 250th habitat improvement project in Oakland County this past weekend. In partnership with Metro-West Steelheaders and the Clinton River Watershed Council , 62 volunteers removed more than 460 pounds of trash from the Clinton River watershed and surrounding areas, restoring more than 80 acres of fish and wildlife habitat. Volunteers focused on picking up trash and other debris in the river near Yates Park and along various walking trails near the Yates Cider Mill. Many different items were collected, including a couple of tires, fishing line, old cans, a sign, and even a car bumper. “We definitely wanted to clean up as much trash as possible because that's going to help the watershed as a whole, and it’s going to clean up the river for both humans aesthetically, and also the animals that live in it, and create safer drinking water” said Olivia Triltsch, MUCC’s Habitat Program and Partnerships Coordinator.
