Volunteer with On the Ground at Rose Lake State Game Area Next Week!

Kristina Kennedy • June 16, 2022

Join us in kicking-off MUCC’s Annual Convention by volunteering to improve wildlife habitat and hunter access at Rose Lake State Game Area. On Friday, June 24, 2022 from 10am-2pm, OTG will be partnering with the MI Department of Natural Resources to repair a hunter access bridge and remove invasive vegetation within the SGA.

Please register HERE.

At approximately 4,000 acres, Rose Lake SGA provides excellent opportunity to pursue various recreational actives such as hunting, fishing, trapping, birding, hiking, and cross country skiing. This piece of state land is currently being managed to maximize hunting and trapping opportunities of designated Featured Species including cottontail rabbit, American woodcock, and ring-necked pheasants.

Volunteers are needed on Friday, June 24, 2022 starting at 10am to help remove invasive vegetation on trails as well as repair a hunter access bridge in the area. All necessary equipment will be provided but attendees are encouraged to bring their own work gloves if they have them.

Volunteers will meet at the parking lot east of the Rose Lake State Game Area Shooting Range (14505 Peacock Rd, East Lansing, MI 48823) on Friday, June 24, 2022 at 10am. Pizza will be provided around noon and the project will likely wrap-up after lunch. All registered volunteers will receive a free lunch and OTG volunteer shirt or mug.

Please direct any questions to Habitat Volunteer Coordinator Kristina Kennedy at kkennedy@mucc.org.

MUCC celebrates a successful Clinton River Cleanup

By Katelyn Helsel • April 23, 2025
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.
