For decades, the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund has been protecting our natural resources in Michigan by directing royalties from the oil and gas industry to fund land conservation and public recreation across Michigan.
The amendment of Proposal 1 will update and expand the Michigan Natural Resource Trust Fund so that it can continue supporting greenspaces that make Michigan unique and rich for birds, wildlife, and people.
This November, Michigan voters will be given a historic opportunity to expand the work of the Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) and help protect our drinking water sources, wildlife and native bird habitats, and parks and natural areas for future generations by voting yes on Proposal 1. The amendment will safeguard a constitutionally protected revenue source for conservation and recreation for future generations, keeping it insulated from partisan gridlock.
