Whitetails Unlimited recently awarded a grant in the amount of $4,500 to the Allegan Michigan Conservation District for a habitat enhancement project. The project will take place in the Allegan State Game Area where a hunting opportunity need has been identified. Almost 200 acres of habitat will be rehabbed by thinning overpopulated trees and removing invasive plants. The focus will be creating habitat for deer, turkey, and small game, which would then be open to public hunting.
This project falls into WTU’s H.O.P.E. (Habitat Options and Planned Enhancement) Program. Over the past fiscal year, WTU has contributed over $150,000 towards projects similar to the one in Allegan Michigan.
