On the Water Event Cancellations

lschultz • April 21, 2020

Due to recent announcements and the public health concerns surrounding COVID-19, all On the Water (OTW) volunteer events have been canceled for the month of May. 

This includes all OTW events such as the Friends of the Rogue River Rouge Rescue on May 16 and the Grand River Clean up with Jackson Conservation District on May 30. Seven out of the eight educational events that OTW was going to be part of have also been canceled. There is a possibility that there will be continued event cancellations into the summer, depending on the COVID-19 situation at the time. Some of the canceled OTW events do have the potential to be rescheduled if public health regulations permit in the future.

For more updates please visit the  mucc.org/on-the-water , MUCC’s Facebook page or contact Emma Nehan at  enehan@mucc.org. We apologize for any inconvenience and will hopefully be able to reschedule these events in the near future. The safety of our volunteers is our main priority, and thank you for your patience and understanding in these uncertain times.

MUCC’s OTW Virtual Mi Invasive Species Bingo Game is still happening until early May! And so far it has been a success! The Virtual Mi Invasive Species Bingo Game has gained traction on  Michigan Out of Doors Podcast with Mike AveryWHMI 93.5   and the  Detroit Free Press.

Michigan winters are long, but that just means fishing season doesn’t stop, it adapts to the weather. For many anglers, winter means ice fishing: drilling holes in frozen lakes, scouting for perch or pike, and enjoying fresh air with family and friends.
