Happy Teacher Appreciation Week

lschultz • May 7, 2021

It has been an interesting year in the classroom over the last 1.5 school years. Here at MUCC, we are lucky enough to work with teachers in a variety of ways, but our most visible classroom interactions are through our TRACKS magazine.

Through the generous support of our affiliate clubs and the Michigan Wildlife Council, we were able to continue to provide this classroom resource to teachers throughout the state.

Even during the pandemic, TRACKS was able to stay relevant and provide quality science-based content to students both learning in the classroom and learning at home.

This year we provided nine issues of TRACKS focusing on Michigan wildlife ranging from the eastern newt to the brook trout.  More than 57,000 copies went out to nearly 200 different classrooms.  For the first time, we also provided teachers with a digital PDF so they would have the flexibility to have students use TRACKS if they were learning from home or on in-classroom iPads and laptops.

We really just wanted to take a moment to let the teachers who use TRACKS in their classroom and engage with MUCC through our clubs, summer camp, habitat/OTG Jr program or our policy process that we appreciate them.  MUCC knows this has been a challenging year and we appreciate what you have done to make the best of the situations this year. We hope you will continue to put the environment in environmental education.

Enjoy your summer vacation. We look forward to working with you all again next school year.

May 2025 NRC Recap

By Justin Tomei • May 8, 2025
The Natural Resources Commission (NRC) met for their May meeting today at Lansing Community College West Campus. The commission voted to return antlered opportunities to the Independence and Liberty hunts at the May Natural Resources Commission meeting. The amendment to restore this opportunity passed after Commissioner Walters withdrew his amendment from April to only partially restore antlered opportunity during these hunts. MUCC testified for the complete restoration of antlered opportunity during these two hunts, per a member passed policy from our 2025 Annual Convention. The commission also voted on, and ultimately accepted, a proposal to allow archery antlerless take in the high snowfall zone in the Upper Peninsula. Additionally, the commission also chose to leave on the table and postpone indefinitely the order to reopen the illegally partially closed coyote season. This prevents the order from dying after today's meeting and makes it eligible for action at a later date. This amendment will remain postponed until the June meeting at the earliest.  MUCC has created the Coyote Coalition to assist in unifying the voice of conservationists in support of Proposal G. To join the Coyote Coalition, visit https://www.mucc.org/coyotecoalition . The commission did adopt proposed fall turkey regulations unanimously. The June commission meeting is Thursday, June 12 in Bay City. To ensure our natural resources remain protected and managed thoughtfully and our outdoor heritage defended, join Michigan United Conservation Clubs today: http://bit.ly/JoinMUCC .

On the Ground Junior: Spring Event Recap

By Katelyn Helsel • May 7, 2025
Our student volunteers have been hard at work improving wildlife habitat on public lands! MUCC’s On the Ground Junior (OTG Jr.) program, a subset of the On the Ground program, is a fully funded field trip program that brings grade-school classrooms into the outdoors to improve fish and wildlife habitat in their local communities. Through activities like native plantings, brush pile building, and invasive species removal, students gain hands-on experience with conservation and positively impact the world around them. Students also participate in educational activities like predator-prey tag to teach them about population dynamics and other natural resources concepts. So far this spring season, MUCC welcomed 69 students, teachers, and chaperones who participated in multiple OTG Jr projects with more on the way! In total, they improved over 12 acres of wildlife habitat. Read on for a recap of each OTG Jr project and see what all our awesome student volunteers have been up to.
