Volunteer with OTG at Gourdneck State Game Area

Kristina Kennedy • February 24, 2022

Join MUCC’s On the Ground program and the Kalamazoo Conservation District on Saturday, March 26, 2022, as we improve habitat for small game at the Gourdneck State Game Area. Volunteers will assist with bucking and limbing downed trees and stacking brush into piles. These brush piles will enhance habitat for wildlife such as woodcock, ruffed grouse, and rabbits and hares.

Volunteers are asked to bring their own work gloves. Volunteers are also invited to bring their own chainsaws for limbing and bucking trees for brush piles, but this is not mandatory. MUCC will have a limited number of chainsaws available for use by volunteers who are experienced and able to use them. A majority of the volunteer work will involve building the brush piles by stacking limbs and logs.

Exact volunteer parking and meeting location within the Gourdneck SGA TBD.  Free lunch and an OTG volunteer t-shirt or 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.

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.

White Oaks vs Red Oaks: Why Does It Matter?

By Olivia Triltsch • April 9, 2026
Oaks are a critical tree species for wildlife in Michigan as they provide food, cover, and long-term habitat in forests, field edges, and public lands. Both red oaks and white oaks are native to Michigan, but there are differences in management between the species, making an impact on conservation and hunting success. The growth patterns are important to understand when planning for land management due to variation in growth, acorn production (mast), and wildlife use.
