The opening meeting for the Mackinac Center’s Private Conservation Working Group was a helpful and enlightening effort that brought together a diverse group of organizations and agencies directly involved with conservation efforts across the state.
The first meeting was successful in achieving the first three of objectives and in setting the stage for further work in all of those areas. As we host the second, and other future, meetings, we now have a firm foundation on which to achieve the fourth objective of identifying and promoting policies that will expand private conservation in Michigan.
