lschultz • June 29, 2021

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is proposing several land dispositions for Alpena, Berrien, Branch, Cass, Charlevoix, Chippewa, Dickinson, Gogebic, Leelanau, and St. Joseph counties. These transactions will likely be acted upon by DNR Director Eichinger at the July 15 Natural Resources Commission (NRC). 

According to PA 240 of 2013, the DNR is required to review parcels within groups of counties and make management recommendations based on the Managed Public Land Strategy that was passed in 2013. These parcels, if approved at the July NRC meeting for disposition, will be auctioned off.
