MUCC Launches Responsible Recreation Photo Contest

Americorps • April 29, 2020

While the COVID-19 pandemic continues, many people are realizing the benefit of getting outside to recreate as a healthy respite from the quarantine. As several of us already know, activities such as casting a line into our favorite lake, going out for a spring turkey hunt or going for a walk in the woods are excellent ways to practice social distancing.

It is critical right now that people continue to follow guidance consistent with Michigan’s current “Stay Home, Stay Safe, Save Lives” Executive Order. However, while you are getting some healthy outdoor exercise, Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC) would like to see how people across our state are connecting with nature right now. That is why we are launching the #MUCCResponsibleRecreation photo contest. No matter how you enjoy the outdoors, now is a great opportunity to share your responsible recreational activities and be entered to win a $25 Meijer gift card.

This was taken on one of my favorite trails that I frequent for running and hiking.

To enter the contest, all you have to do is post a picture of your responsible recreation, either on Facebook or Instagram, and use the hashtag #MUCCresponsiblerecreation . The contest will run from Friday, May 8th through Monday, May 18th, and two winners will receive a $25 gift card to Meijer and a one year subscription to the Michigan Out-Of-Doors magazine. The winning photos will be selected by the MUCC Staff and posted on MUCC social media accounts following their selection.

We are hoping to see photos from all across the state, and see all ages and user groups enjoying this beautiful Michigan spring. Winning photos will be selected by MUCC’s field staff, and selections will be based on the photo that best captures enjoying Michigan’s Out-of-Doors responsibly. Be sure to follow all COVID-19 public health guidelines when recreating, and we look forward to seeing some great photos of Michigan’s outdoor enthusiasts.

Spring Volunteer Opportunities with On the Ground

By Katelyn Helsel • April 2, 2025

Are you interested in making a difference for local wildlife this spring? Check out our upcoming On the Ground events! We have many projects with a wide range of volunteer opportunities available throughout April and into May. Even though winter is still holding on for some parts of northern Michigan, now is still a great time to get outside and improve wildlife habitat. All necessary equipment is provided for each project, and all registered volunteers receive lunch and a free appreciation gift. We welcome all ages, so bring a friend or two if you’d like! Families are also welcome, and our events provide a great opportunity for kids to get their hands dirty and learn about the outdoors. More detailed information about each of our upcoming projects is listed below. We hope to see you at a future event!
