Raising the Volume: MUCC attends Quiet Adventures Symposium

Americorps • March 1, 2023

Come visit MUCC’s booth at the 28th Annual Quiet Adventure Symposium (QAS) this Saturday, March 4, 2023, at the Michigan State University Pavilion.

QAS brings people together who love the outdoors and allows visitors to meet with experts in areas of non-motorized outdoor recreation. There’s a full agenda this year with 34 speakers who will talk about camping, hiking, biking, reducing the risk of ticks, paddle boarding, and much more. All ages are welcome as there will be hands-on educational activities for youth led by Ingham County’s 4-H program on topics ranging from environmental resource management, entomology, fisheries and wildlife. QAS will also be holding a raffle with two Grand Prizes: A new mountain bike with gear and a new paddleboard.

MUCC will be running an exhibitor booth at this year’s symposium. We will be promoting our On the Ground program as well as giving out information on our summer youth camp and job opportunities.

Both red oaks and white oaks are native to Michigan, but there are differences in management between the species, making an impact on conservation and hunting success. The growth patterns are important to understand when planning for land management due to variation in growth, acorn production (mast), and wildlife use.
