lschultz • April 20, 2021

Join MUCC’s On The Ground program and the Robert J. Lytle Chapter of the Ruffed Grouse Society on Saturday, April 24, as we plant trees to improve wildlife habitat at the Minden City State Game Area. Volunteers are needed to help plant and tube approximately 200 oak trees. These hard mast-producing trees will benefit a variety of wildlife including ruffed grouse, wild turkey and white-tailed deer.

Volunteers will meet at the parking lot at Cumber Rd and Verona Rd, just east of M-19 (Google Maps coordinates: 43°37’24.6″N 82°52’38.2″W). The event will begin at 9 AM and run until all the trees are planted.

To receive a free lunch and OTG t-shirt, you must register for this event. Registration closes Thursday, April 22 at 1 p.m.

On Saturday, April 18, 2026, MUCC’s OTG program partnered with the Clinton River Watershed Council and Metro-West Steelheaders to host the annual Clinton River clean-up at Yates Park. Volunteers removed about 270 pounds of trash from the riverbanks and the surrounding watershed. Approximately 80.3 acres of fish and wildlife habitat were directly impacted by this project, in addition to improving local outdoor recreational opportunities. Cleaning up the watershed is critical for ensuring safe drinking water, safe recreation, and a clean habitat for fish and wildlife alike.
