Wildlife Habitat Field Day

lschultz • July 9, 2019

The Michigan Wildlife Cooperatives Program is joining forces with the Genesee Conservation District , Pheasants Forever, US Fish and Wildlife Service, USDA/NRCS, and the Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program(MAEAP) for a day in the field. This event is focused on all things wildlife habitat including grasslands, forest management, wetlands, cost-share programs and MAEAP.

Partners in conservation have large impacts on land and wildlife management. Working together brings together diverse expertise and showcases the kind of work that gets completed. The event location has a prime example of these partnerships with a pond/wetland ecosystem that was completed with US Fish and Wildlife Service.

This one property also allows viewing of a small forested area and a grassland. Speakers that are experts in each will be stationed at each habitat site and will lead a discussion on establishing habitat and managing it correctly.

This field day is ideal for private landowners that are searching for property improvement ideas and might not know where to start. It will also be a great opportunity to interact with industry professionals that can help you on your conservation journey.

Please direct all questions and register by calling Anna at 810-230-8766 x 3 or by emailing anastasia.williams@macd.org. We hope to see you there!

MUCC celebrates a successful Clinton River Cleanup

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.
