Join MUCC’s On the Ground program and the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) as we improve wildlife habitat in the northern Lower Peninsula on Saturday, October 2, 2021 – 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volunteers are needed to help plant and fence 100 mature mast-producing trees on public land near Frederic. These trees will provide foraging material and additional cover for wildlife like wild turkey, white-tailed deer, ruffed grouse, and songbirds. All registered volunteers will receive a free lunch and volunteer appreciation gift from MUCC.
