If you’ve run short of reading material, check out these two reports detailing important work the DNR and its partners have accomplished for Michigan’s wildlife and the people who enjoy wildlife.
Wildlife Division Annual Report
The 2019 Wildlife Division Annual Report (see accessible version at the link below) highlights work the division completed from Oct. 1, 2018, to Sept. 30, 2019.
We are pleased to revisit the October 2019 removal of the Kirtland’s warbler from the federal list of endangered and threatened species – a truly monumental achievement made possible by many conservation organizations! The DNR manages 90,000 acres of dedicated Kirtland’s warbler habitat and has planted more than 60 million jack pine trees to provide habitat for this rare songbird since the 1970s.
Michigan Pheasant Restoration Initiative Annual Report
Michigan Pheasant Restoration Initiative Coalition partners recently compiled an MPRI annual report (see accessible version at link below), sharing 2019 accomplishments. The coalition worked together to enhance over 4,400 acres and restore nearly 3,000 acres of grassland habitat, among many other important achievements.
The Michigan Pheasant Restoration Initiative is a conservation initiative to restore and enhance Michigan pheasant habitat, populations and hunting opportunities on private and public lands through pheasant cooperatives. The initiative works by acquiring state, federal and other resources to assist landowners in the cooperatives to improve wildlife habitat on their properties and by improving habitat on selected state game areas, recreation areas or other public lands.
