Land & Wildlife
Michigan is rich with a diversity of land, wildlife and natural spaces from the southernmost point of the Lower Peninsula to the vast and untouched corners of the Upper Peninsula—each community, forest and waterway teaming with unique ecosystems and life. But these precious resources continue to come under threat for short-term gain and little regard for the long-term effects. As we work to preserve the biodiversity of our two Mittens, we must ensure our resources are protected and made accessible for all Michiganders.
