MUCC’s Protect Sportfishing Sweepstakes

lschultz • June 24, 2021

Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC) is excited to announce a brand new sweepstake. Those who choose to enter will have the chance to win a Lake Michigan charter fishing trip out of Leland or Traverse City with Captain Tony Radjenovich. Funds raised during this sweepstake will be utilized to continue protecting Michigan’s sport fishery as a part of the MUCC Legal Defense Fund. 

The Legal Defense Fund has been used to supplement fees associated with the ongoing Great Lakes Consent Decree negotiations. In 2020, the fund was used to file litigation against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer challenging her unilateral order banning the use of motorboats. MUCC was successful in overturning that order because of the generous support of conservationists like you and your commitment to protecting Michigan’s outdoor heritage and lifestyle.

By supporting this sweepstake and the Legal Defense Fund, you are positioning MUCC to continue its work as an amicus to the Great Lakes Consent Decree negotiations. You are also enabling our organization to be prepared and ready for the next threat towards our outdoor heritage and traditions. Whether it’s striking down a county proclamation to end “wildlife killing contests” or suing the state to defend our membership’s right to motorboat, MUCC is the first, and oftentimes only, line of defense against threats to your rights to hunt, fish and trap in Michigan.

MUCC celebrates a successful Clinton River Cleanup

Rochester Hills, MI — On the Ground, MUCC’s volunteer stewardship program, celebrated its 250th habitat improvement project in Oakland County this past weekend. In partnership with Metro-West Steelheaders and the Clinton River Watershed Council , 62 volunteers removed more than 460 pounds of trash from the Clinton River watershed and surrounding areas, restoring more than 80 acres of fish and wildlife habitat. Volunteers focused on picking up trash and other debris in the river near Yates Park and along various walking trails near the Yates Cider Mill. Many different items were collected, including a couple of tires, fishing line, old cans, a sign, and even a car bumper. “We definitely wanted to clean up as much trash as possible because that's going to help the watershed as a whole, and it’s going to clean up the river for both humans aesthetically, and also the animals that live in it, and create safer drinking water” said Olivia Triltsch, MUCC’s Habitat Program and Partnerships Coordinator.
