Invasive species continue to pose a serious threat to Michigan waters, and one fish that has raised increasing concern in recent years is the northern snakehead.
Improving wildlife habitat doesn’t always require heavy equipment or large-scale restoration; sometimes, it starts with something as simple as a pile of brush.
Across Michigan’s woodlots, field edges, and public lands, a familiar plant is beginning to leaf out each spring before many native species. While its small white flowers may appear harmless, multiflora rose is one of the state’s most aggressive invasive shrubs. For hunters, landowners, and conservationists, understanding and managing this species is critical to maintaining healthy wildlife habitat.
Known as the “fish of 10,000 casts,” the muskellunge holds a special place in Michigan’s fishing culture. For many anglers, encountering a muskie is a rare and unforgettable experience. Beyond their reputation as a trophy fish, muskellunge play an important ecological role in Michigan’s lakes and rivers and are a clear example of why long-term, science-based fisheries management matters.
Volunteers Brave Michigan Winters
This year, MUCC’s On the Ground program is partnering with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to host a hands-on volunteer project focused on improving wildlife habitat on public land. This project brings together hunters, conservationists, and outdoor enthusiasts to make a tangible impact while learning more about the habitats that support Michigan’s wildlife.
