October 2024 NRC Recap

Justin Tomei • October 11, 2024

The Natural Resources Commission (NRC) approved a suite of fisheries orders at the October meeting in Marquette.

The commission unanimously approved seven orders in total.

There were no new orders up for information for NRC or director consideration.

The director signed an order restricting firearm use at the Windsor Township State Game Area, a host of land transactions, and an oil and gas lease auction.

The commission’s agenda was dominated with UP focused presentations. There was an update on the State Forest Management Plan, and an update on the wolf abundance survey.

The fisheries committee had a presentation on Bay De Noc walleye research and management.

The commission returns to Lansing for the November meeting at the Lansing Community College downtown campus on Thursday, November 7.

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!
