MOOD Youth Camp charity shoot is right around the corner

lschultz • July 9, 2019

On August 9, Michigan United Conservation Clubs is hosting its 2019 Michigan Out-of-Doors Youth Camp Charity Shoot at Multi-Lakes Conservation Association.

The funds raised from this event will go towards the Michigan Out-of-Doors Youth Camp in Chelsea, MI. Since 1946, the MOOD Youth Camp has instilled values of conservation and natural resources stewardship in more than 58,000 youth. The funds raised will help to introduce more children to the outdoors, buy needed camp supplies and plant MUCC’s message of uniting citizens to conserve, protect and enhance Michigan’s natural resources and outdoor heritage in the next generation of conservationists.

Last year, $14,000 was raised for camp. This year, we have a goal of raising $15,000, and we need your help! Since 2018, the funds raised have helped to stain the cabins, make range improvements and route new water lines to the buildings. The funds also go towards the continuation of programming about hunting, fishing, trapping and conservation education.

The shoot will consist of a 50-target sporting clay course covering 12 stations. There will be prizes awarded to the top gun, top gun runner up and the overall winning team. Lunch will be provided!

If you are interested in attending the event, visit this webpage for more information. Here you will find payment information and individual shooter/team registration. Even as an individual shooter, your contribution matters . If you are looking to support conservation while spending a Friday shooting clays, this is the event for you! 

Come tune up for duck, grouse and woodcock season. Spend the afternoon with friends or conservationists you just met. Representatives from the Michigan DNR and Michigan Out-of-Doors will be on-hand and shooting.

Please spread the word and share this information with friends, family and any companies or organizations you can think of that would like to support this cause. With your help, we can support conservation education and future generations of conservationists together.

Multi-Lakes Conservation Association is located at 3860 Newton Rd, Commerce Charter Twp, MI 48382. There are three flight times starting at 9 a.m., 11 a.m., and 1 p.m. If you have any questions, please reach out to Ian FitzGerald at ifitzgerald@mucc.org.

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.
