Many conservation programs are available to private landowners, although wading through the information and finding the right person to talk to can be frustrating. Please call the Huron Pines office at 989/344-0753 ext. 21 if we can be of help.

Huron Pines is launching our Conservation First Responder program, an effort to promote and provide a single point of contact so that we can put landowners in touch with the type of assistance that best meets their needs. Through the volunteer help of the many retired resource professionals living in our region, we're able to use our network of people resources to help provide one-on-one assistance.

In addition, we encourage you to check out a great resource online resource titled, Managing Michigan's Wildlife: A landowners guide.  This publication was created by the Michigan DNR and Michigan United Conservation Clubs.

Topics include:

Habitat Planning
Forest Management
Wetland Management
Grassland Management
Cropland Management
Backyard Management
Species Management
Resource Directory
 

"The purpose of this guide is to present landowners with a variety of methods through which they can improve wildlife habitat on their property, and ease the consequences of our changed ecosystems. Each chapter pertains to managing different ecosystems or species in Michigan. Regardless of the size of your property, whether it is an urban back yard, a "back forty", or more than a section, you can set goals and take the proper steps to improve your property for wildlife. Every piece of property is important to the big picture, and it is not too late to begin improving our land. This guide provides the information you will need to conserve Michigan's plants, animals, and ecosystems."
