Environment-MUCC Info

With the many legislative/environmental issues constantly emerging, which may affect all who enjoy Michigan's great outdoors, we have created this page to keep our membership informed of issues that may affect them. Since DWF is affiliated with M.U.C.C. (Michigan United Conservation Clubs), we will use this page to keep you up-to-date with what is going on with them as well as act as kind of a "clearing house" for information/articles obtained from other sources.
