Conservation group to plant trees at the Traverse City State Forest Area
The Le Grand Traverse Chapter of the Ruffed Grouse Society (RGS) will conduct a tree planting project at the Traverse City State Forest Area (just south of Copemish, Mi), on Saturday, April 21, 2012 . According to Paul Huffman, participants are to meet in the Michigan Department of Natural Resource (MDNR) Yates Road Clear-cut Site at 10 a.m. The entrance to the MDNR parking area is at the intersections of Plagany and Thompsonville roads. The work project will begin with a brief orientation. Attendees should dress for the occasion and bring a shovel and work gloves. A box lunch will be provided.
Established in 1961, the Ruffed Grouse Society is the one international wildlife conservation organization dedicated to promoting conditions suitable for ruffed grouse, American woodcock and related wildlife to sustain our sport hunting tradition and outdoor heritage.
