Jack Pine Planting Day registration is now open!

We're excited to announce that sign up is open for this year's Jack Pine Planting Day, Saturday, May 3.

Here's the sign up link: https://michiganunitedconservationclubs.app.neoncrm.com/...&. It will take you to a Google Form hosted by Michigan United Conservation Clubs, one of our partners.

This year we will be planting 6,300 trees on six acres to create new nesting habitat for Kirtland's Warblers. The site on the north side of what Google Maps calls Smoore Road, east of Goose Creek Road. Perhaps the site is best described by coordinates: 44.713271, -84.837506. It's about nine miles northwest of Grayling and it's extremely easy to get to.

We plant rain or shine. The DNR is counting on us to get these trees in the ground before it gets too warm, which will stress the trees coming out of dormancy. Registration is limited to 40 because of available equipment, so sign up early. See you in the field!
