MUCC Club Map

Americorps • February 6, 2019

Michigan United Conservation Clubs is the largest statewide conservation organization in the nation. A fresh reminder about our history; we were founded in 1937 with a purpose to unite conservation clubs throughout the state and conserve, protect, and enhance Michigan’s natural resource and outdoor heritage. Our strength in doing so is in our membership and support with over 70,000 hunters, anglers, trappers and conservationists and over 200 affiliated local clubs around the state.

Our clubs range from all walks of life, united by their shared commitment to conserving Michigan’s natural resources and defending our rights to hunt, fish, and trap. Their dues support our programs, whether that’s through; educating the next generation of conservationists, conserving and enhancing fish and wildlife habitat, and advocating for the rights to hunt, fish and trap.

We are proud of our clubs and wanted to share this by highlighting each of our clubs by region on an interactive map. The map can be found HERE. The map is a great representation of how connected we are throughout the state, with clubs being found in every region. We also wanted the map to serve as a means of communication by providing each club icon with the clubs contact information (phone number/website). It’s a great way to see what clubs can be found in your area, for future projects or meetings.

As an AmeriCorps member, serving with MUCC, the unity that MUCC provides was very apparent from the start. I much enjoyed piecing this club map project together and am looking forward to watching it grow.

MUCC Submits Public Comment in Support of Line 5 Tunnel Project

By Justin Tomei • June 30, 2025
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MUCC Submits Public Comment in Support of Line 5 Tunnel Project Lansing, MI — Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC), the nation’s largest statewide conservation organization, has submitted formal public comments urging the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to approve the Enbridge Line 5 Tunnel Project. In a letter submitted today, MUCC emphasized the need to move this critical infrastructure forward to protect the Great Lakes while maintaining safe, reliable energy transportation. “MUCC supports the tunnel project as the best available alternative to reduce the risk of an environmental disaster in the Straits of Mackinac while continuing to deliver essential energy products to Michigan families and industries,” said Amy Trotter, CEO of MUCC. “We believe the tunnel project strikes a balance between protecting the environment and maintaining energy security.” MUCC’s position is backed by a formal resolution passed by its membership, which includes thousands of hunters, anglers, trappers, and outdoor enthusiasts across Michigan. The resolution supports the tunnel as a long-term solution that replaces the aging and exposed pipeline segment currently crossing the Straits, offering greater environmental safeguards through secondary containment. The organization cited the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), which acknowledges the tunnel’s benefits, including reduced spill risk and a controlled, buried environment for transporting light crude oil and natural gas liquids. MUCC also rejected the "no action alternative," which would allow the existing line to remain in operation without any new protective infrastructure. “Other alternatives, like transporting fuel by truck or rail, are inefficient and carry greater environmental and safety risks,” Trotter added. “Allowing the current line to operate exposed on the lakebed indefinitely is simply not acceptable.” MUCC’s comment stresses that the organization is not weighing in on the type of energy transported, but rather on the environmental risks and safety benefits of the tunnel itself. Originally approved by the Michigan legislature and governor in 2018, the Great Lakes Tunnel Project represents a once-in-a-generation investment in infrastructure and environmental protection. MUCC urges the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to issue the necessary permits and move forward with construction without further delay.

On the Ground: Native Plug Planting at Pierce Cedar Creek Institute

By Katelyn Helsel • June 25, 2025
On Saturday, June 21, 2025, MUCC’s On the Ground program partnered with the Pierce Cedar Creek Institute (PCCI) for a native plug planting day in Barry County. Located on 850 acres, the institute offers both environmental education opportunities and serves as a biological field station for conducting research. Many diverse native communities from wetlands to prairies are present at PCCI, and many rare or threatened species in Michigan like the eastern box turtle call the institute home.
