On the Ground: 2021 Habitat Events Update

lschultz • June 3, 2021

While there are currently no On the Ground (OTG) wildlife habitat improvement events scheduled for the early summer months, we are beginning to schedule our late summer and fall events. Such events will include grassland habitat restoration, native tree and shrub plantings, hunter access trail improvements and a river clean-up.

These events are scheduled to take place on state forest land in the Upper Peninsula, on public land in Kalkaska and Frederic in the northern Lower Peninsula, at the Petersburg State Game Area and in Rochester Hills in the southeast region of the Lower Peninsula and in southern mid-Michigan near Lansing at Dansville State Game Area. We are also excited to partner with the Pierce Cedar Creek Institute (PCCI) on a habitat improvement project on their property in September. This event will take place on PCCI property that is open to the public for hunting during select seasons.

Event registration for these events will open in mid-June and throughout July, so please monitor MUCC and OTG websites and social media for updates about the program and details regarding all upcoming wildlife habitat events. To learn more about OTG, please visit  www.mucc.org/on-the- groundwww.facebook.com/ muccotg  or contact MUCC Habitat Volunteer Coordinator Makhayla LaButte at  mlabutte@mucc.org.

If you have ever seen a deer with velveted antlers at strange times of the year, it may have been a rare sighting of an antlered doe. Unusual circumstances like this allow for the antlered and antlerless deer tags to still apply as imposed by the Michigan DNR deer regulations, as it can be difficult to identify a doe from a buck while in the field, aside from the presence of antlers. Often, hunters who tag an antlered doe do not find out it is a female until they go to field dress their kill.
