State Forest Management Plan Delayed A Year Due to Ice Storm Damage in Northern Michigan

The completion of the new, 10-year State Forest Management Plan will be delayed by at least a year following the devastating ice storm that struck northern Michigan March 28-30, the state Department of Natural Resources announced today.

This historic storm coated trees with more than an inch of ice in some areas, causing widespread damage in the northeastern Lower Peninsula. More than 900,000 acres of state forest land were affected, with trees of many species incurring varying levels of damage.

Damage assessment of stands and existing treatments is underway, and timber salvage harvests have begun. Both are being tracked closely to gauge their impact on the plan. Read more

Nets will be set each day and marked with staff buoys. (Image courtesy of Michigan Sea Grant)The Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, along with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Bay Mills Indian Community and Michigan State University, will be conducting a lake sturgeon survey next month on Burt Lake in Cheboygan County. The goal of the survey is to determine the lake sturgeon population status and the success of stocking efforts. Lake sturgeon is a culturally and ecologically significant species in Michigan, and tribal governments and the State of Michigan cooperatively manage and assess sturgeon populations.

Nets will be set each day and marked with staff buoys. (Image courtesy of Michigan Sea Grant)The survey will occur from July 7 to July 25, with nets set Monday through Thursday of each week. Survey gill nets will be used to capture lake sturgeon, and staff will check the nets regularly (every one to two hours) during the day. Nets will be set each day and marked with staff buoys (see image, right), then removed at the end of the day and will not be left in the lake overnight. Read more

FPC Statement on Senate Parliamentarian’s NFA Ruling

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Firearms Policy Coalition issued the following statement in response to reports that the Senate Parliamentarian has advised that key pro-liberty provisions in the Republican reconciliation package would be subject to a 60-vote threshold under the Byrd Rule, essentially striking them from the Senate’s version of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” unless the Senate overrules her:

It is utterly disgraceful and unacceptable that the Senate is allowing an unelected bureaucrat to stand between the American people and their constitutionally protected rights. The Senate Parliamentarian’s advice—which has no force of law—is being wielded as a political weapon to block long-overdue reforms around constitutionally protected arms.

The Parliamentarian’s opinions are non-binding and completely irrelevant to the question of whether Congress should advance these legislative reforms, eliminating some unconstitutional taxes and related regulations.

Senators take an oath to uphold the Constitution, not to submit to the procedural gatekeeping of a Senate employee with a red pen and a power trip. Our rights should never be subject to the whims of anyone, let alone an unelected staffer behind closed doors.

We call on all Senators to reject the Parliamentarian’s advice, honor their oath, and move forward with legislation to remove suppressors, short-barreled firearms, and other weapons from the scope of the National Firearms Act and eliminate those related taxes. The Constitution is not a mere suggestion—it is the “supreme Law of the Land.” The Senate should start acting like it. Read more

Boating, Fishing Outreach Events to Mark Michigan’s Aquatic Invasive Species Awareness Week

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has issued a proclamation to mark Aquatic Invasive Species Awareness Week, June 29 to July 5, raising awareness about the importance of stopping the spread of invasive aquatic plants and organisms.

Over 50 boat landing events are planned across the state to mark this year’s AIS Awareness Week. Public awareness about the impacts of harmful, nonnative aquatic plants and animals is critical to protecting Michigan’s ecosystems, tourism and economy.

he boat landing events are part of the 12th Annual AIS Landing Blitz in which local partners such as lake associations and cooperative invasive species management areas give boaters and anglers tips to prevent the spread of invasive species and comply with laws for recreational boating. Similar AIS Landing Blitz events will be held in each of the Great Lakes states and Canadian provinces.

Help prevent the spread of AIS by following these simple steps:

Required actions – it’s the law in Michigan

  • Remove all aquatic organisms, including plants, from watercraft and trailers before launching or transporting.
  • Remove all drain plugs and drain all water from bilges, ballast tanks and live wells before transporting a watercraft.
  • Dispose of unused bait in the trash, not in the water. Read more
