Volunteer with MUCC

Americorps • August 24, 2022

The On the Ground program would not exist without dedicated volunteers. From trash removal to tree planting so much is accomplished with the help of these wonderful people. If you haven’t attended an event, consider joining OTG in the future. As a team, we strive to improve Michigan for both the wildlife and the people.
