MUCC’s On the Water Virtual Mi Invasive Species Bingo Game gave families and individuals a chance to get outside and to learn some new invasive species in their community. This challenge was hosted by the OTW program to continue to encourage public engagement in the outdoors despite the cancellation of OTW watershed improvement events due to COVID-19. For more information about the OTW program and how to get involved, please visit mucc.org/on-the-water.

The OTW program is made possible through Consumers Energy Planet Grant Foundation and this grant comes to an end this September. If you like what OTW is creating and want this program to continue please let us know! OTW unquestionably wants to advance as a program, connect and form partnerships that improve watersheds around the state of Michigan, but we can’t do this without your support.

The big news was the commission brought back up the order to reinstate the year-round coyote season, and a vote will happen in August to satisfy posting and notice requirements.
