The radio-tracked in areas targeted for management treatments in the snakes were located in only three of the nine park. This project will provide baseline data on management units (Interpretive Kiosk, Hunt Club and presence/absence, relative abundance, movement and Facilities). Within these units, the snakes primarily habitat use upon which to assess whether the snake utilized old field and palustrine emergent wetland populations in areas undergoing active management habitats along the edge of the dike and the lagoons. are increasing, decreasing or remaining constant.

  • Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) Grants for 5 Active Or Completed Projects
    The COUNTY ALCONA MICHIGAN NATURAL RESOURCES TRUST FUND was established under the Kammer Recreational Land Trust Fund Act of 1976 to provide a permanent funding source for the public acquisition of land for resource protection and public outdoor recreation. Funding is provided by revenue derived from royalties on the sale and lease of state-owned oil, gas and mineral rights. This landmark piece of legislation came to fruition thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Michigan Oil and Gas Association, Michigan United Conservation Clubs and state legislators on behalf of all Michigan citizens. The MNRTF has contributed immeasurably to protecting our state’s natural beauty and helped paved the way for wise and prudent development of our state’s abundant energy resources. To date, the MNRTF has awarded over $1.1 billion in grants to Michigan’s state and local parks, waterways, trails and nature preserves throughout all 83 counties. Of this total, $245 million has been invested in trails. In excess of 1,000 public parks have been acquired and / or developed. Other projects funded include ball fields, tennis courts, trailheads, restrooms and other amenities, for a total of just under 2,500 MNRTF-assisted projects since 1976. ALCONA COUNTY Alcona County has received $644,100 in Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) grants for 5 active or completed projects.

  • 6/30/2018 DISTRICT 1 Conservation Officer
    Law Enforcement Division Bi-Weekly Field Report 6/17/2018 – 6/30/2018 DISTRICT 1 Conservation Officer (CO) Josh Boudreaux patrolled various lakes in Marquette County over the weekend preceding the 4th of July holiday. Sporadic thunderstorms and heavy rain put a damper on boating activity but the periods of sunshine were taken advantage of by many who partook in fishing, tubing, waterskiing, and other boating activities. Compliance was found to be high across all lakes and many people stated they were happy to see the presence of COs on the water during the holiday. A few warnings were given for various violations and a citation was issued to a boater who was operating at night without navigation lights. CO Josh Boudreaux heard Marquette County Sheriff’s deputies receive a report of an individual who had dammed up a creek behind his residence. CO Boudreaux and a deputy responded to the scene and met with the homeowner who showed officers the makeshift dam. The investigation is ongoing. CO Josh Boudreaux received a complaint of a gill-net tangled in some trees on the Michigamme River near Witbeck Rapids. The caller stated there were a couple fish caught in the net. CO Boudreaux responded to the scene and used a kayak to retrieve the net. The net appeared to have washed downstream at some point before becoming tangled up along the shoreline. In the net was a northern pike and a couple small panfish, which due to decomposition were unidentifiable. Unfortunately, there was nothing on the net which revealed the identity of the owner.
