Volunteers Needed: OTG at Gladwin SGA

lschultz • July 11, 2019

Are you a member of RGS, a ruffed grouse or rabbit hunter, or simply an outdoor enthusiast looking to improve habitat in Michigan? Then the On The Ground project at Gladwin State Game Area (SGA) is the event for you!

On Saturday, July 20, MUCC is partnering with the RGS and DNR to improve wildlife habitat in the Gladwin SGA. Volunteers will cut and stack the limbs of felled trees to assemble brush-piles that can be utilized as habitat for rabbit, ruffed grouse and a variety of other wildlife. This project also removes diseased and invasive trees from the landscape and opens the understory for native vegetation regeneration.

This is a great opportunity to get outdoors, explore your public lands and have a lasting impact on Michigan’s fauna and ecosystems. What’s more, volunteers are given the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and have an immediate impact on an area or species they care about.

Oaks are a critical tree species for wildlife in Michigan as they provide food, cover, and long-term habitat in forests, field edges, and public lands. 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.
