Michigan Environmental Council northern Michigan regional meeting

A highlight of this year’s meeting will be a panel discussion on public lands issues that are currently a source of much debate in Lansing. Recently introduced bills would reduce the DNR’s public land footprint in northern Michigan and use Natural Resources Trust Fund dollars for mining and forestry infrastructure, among other proposed changes. The lasted proposals will be sorted through with:

• Julie Clark, TART Trails
• Brad Garmon, Michigan Environmental Council
• Matt McDonough, Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy
• DNR staff (invited)

As always, the meeting will include a Capitol update from MEC’s James Clift with the latest on energy, transportation and other key issues. Area lawmakers have been invited to provide an update on their priorities and field your questions.
