Mast-Producing Tree Planting and Elk Fence Removal/Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Fall Rendezvous

This project is in collaboration with the Michigan DNR and is an effort to establish hard and soft mast that will benefit various species of wildlife including elk and white-tailed deer. We will also work to remove old elk fencing from nearby area on public land.

Meeting location: Volunteers will meet at Elkwood Campground at in Wolverine at 9:30am. Parking at the work site is limited so we will caravan/carpool to the planting site which is about 20 minutes southwest of the campground after signing waivers and going over project details.
