While this rodent can be a nuisance in some situations, it is truly an ecosystem engineer for many other fish and wildlife species.

Are you interested in making a difference for local wildlife this spring? Check out our upcoming On the Ground events! We have many projects with a wide range of volunteer opportunities available throughout April and into May. Even though winter is still holding on for some parts of northern Michigan, now is still a great time to get outside and improve wildlife habitat. All necessary equipment is provided for each project, and all registered volunteers receive lunch and a free appreciation gift. We welcome all ages, so bring a friend or two if you’d like! Families are also welcome, and our events provide a great opportunity for kids to get their hands dirty and learn about the outdoors. More detailed information about each of our upcoming projects is listed below. We hope to see you at a future event!
