  • 100 Years of Michigan State Parks
    1 ourmidland.com 2 Page 2 | Week of May 6 -11, 2019 Which state park was Michigan’s first? As the DNR celebrates the 100th anniversary of Michigan state parks system, a natural question arises – what was Michigan’s first state park? Well, the answer depends on how you interpret the question and isn’t simple. The 2019 state parks centennial celebration is centered around the formation of the Michigan State Park Commission by the state Legislature on May 12, 1919. The commission was given responsibility for overseeing, acquiring and maintaining public lands and establishing Michigan’s state parks system. One of the state’s earliest purchases was the site of Interlochen State Park in 1917. Although the land was purchased prior to 1919, Interlochen was the first public park to be transferred to the Michigan State Park Commission in 1920 and is considered Michigan’s first state park. However, many consider Mackinac Island as Michigan’s first state park, which is also true. Approximately 25 years before legislation estab- lished the state park commission, the federal government gifted the Mackinac Island property it owned to the state in 1895. The island was designat- ed as Michigan’s first state park under the Mackinac State Park Commission. Because Mackinac Island is operated under the Mackinac State Park Commission and was not placed under the Michigan State Park Commission, there is more than one answer to the “first state park” question. Interlochen State Park The Michigan Legislature paid $60,000 for the land that became Interlochen State Park, located southwest of Traverse City, in 1917.

  • Social and Economic Assessment for Michigan's State Forests
    Social and Economic Assessment for Michigan’s State Forests Prepared for: Michigan Department of Natural Resources Forest, Mineral, and Fire Management Division Lansing, Michigan September 5, 2006 Prepared by: Tessa Systems, LLC East Lansing, MI Preface Public Act 125 of 2004, Section 52505, requires the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MiDNR) to seek and maintain third-party sustainable forestry certification. Forest certification requires that MiDNR forest management plans take into consideration social and economic parameters that affect future forest management operations. Currently, the MiDNR is preparing a statewide forest management plan, and each of three eco-teams are drafting ecoregional management plans. The social and economic information provided in this report will be used to assess current social and economic conditions and to develop future management directions within each of the plans. The report focuses primarily on three ecoregions: the Western Upper Peninsula, Eastern Upper Peninsula, and Northern Lower Peninsula as defined by the MIDNR along county boundaries. It covers social and economic conditions within these ecoregions in aggregate and on a county-level basis. As a result data for the areas in and around Michigan state forests are highlighted. The “Social and Economic Assessment for the Michigan National Forests” (July 25, 2003), by Larry Leefers, Karen Potter-Witter, and Maureen McDonough from Michigan State University, provides a general model for this report. The assessment report is based on secondary data. No primary data collection was done. MiDNR personnel provided unpublished data from MiDNR records. The report presents analyses of existing data and discusses relationships and trends in the variables of interest, and contains some projections based on existing literature.
