Double the Trouble with MUCC’s OTG Program

Americorps • August 4, 2022

MUCC’s On the Ground (OTG) Program is double booked. This is great news for volunteers because there are more events to choose from. If you are looking for something to do on Saturday, August 20, consider attending an OTG habitat improvement project.

Bullock Ranch State Wildlife Management Area (Upper Peninsula)

Volunteers will help clear invasive species and brush from the Shingleton Management Area to support large open spaces. Multiple wildlife species thrive in this area such as sharp-tailed grouse, merlin and the upland sandpiper. This event was designed to specifically help the sharp-tailed grouse in the region. The sharp-tailed grouse use this area as a breeding and nesting habitat. Help support Michigan’s native flora and fauna by joining MUCC’s OTG program in bettering the Bullock Ranch SWMA.

Verona State Game Area

In partnership with Pheasants Forever, MUCC and our volunteers will help assemble a kiosk and plant a pollinator plot. The kiosk will display information about the state game area and its management. While a group helps to install the kiosk, the rest of the volunteers will plant a pollinator plot to support native pollinators in the area. Assist MUCC and Pheasants Forever in spreading information and supporting healthy pollinators.

MUCC is very thankful for the people that volunteer at our events. All registered volunteers will receive lunch and a volunteer appreciation gift. To see more OTG events, click here .

Oaks are a critical tree species for wildlife in Michigan as they provide food, cover, and long-term habitat in forests, field edges, and public lands. Both red oaks and white oaks are native to Michigan, but there are differences in management between the species, making an impact on conservation and hunting success. The growth patterns are important to understand when planning for land management due to variation in growth, acorn production (mast), and wildlife use.
