The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is seeking public input on two new general management plans in the Keweenaw Peninsula. One is for Keweenaw Point state-managed lands and the other is for Fort Wilkins Historic State Park in Keweenaw County
Feedback collected will help shape the plans that help protect the natural communities, historical significance, and recreational value of both these locations.
Why we are engaging in the planning effort?
BHA is the watch dog or voice for wild public lands, water and wildlife, with an emphasis on "wild" public lands and the backcountry experiences wild public lands offer.
Michigan BHA desires to enhance the opportunity for backcountry experiences in Michigan. The Keweenaw Point lands will become the third largest State Park in Michigan at approximately 20,000 acres. These lands have the potential to provide high quality backcountry experiences in one of the most unique places in Michigan, the USA, actually globally unique.
We urge our members and supporters to take time and express the need for backcountry hunting and angling opportunities on these public lands.
