About the project: Join MUCC's On the Ground, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and the Michigan DNR Wildlife Division for our 2024 Fall Rendezvous in the Pigeon River Country State Forest. Volunteers are needed on Saturday, September 7, 2024, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM to help plant oak trees, remove old fencing, and construct new exclosures. The combination of these projects will improve habitat for a variety of wildlife including elk.

*There is poor cell reception in the area so it is recommended to pull up directions on your phone when leaving home or to download the area on Google Maps. 

What to bring: A volunteer lunch and appreciation gift will be provided to all registered volunteers. A refillable water bottle is recommended, but we will have plastic water bottles available for volunteers. We ask that you bring work gloves if you already have them as we have a limited supply of gloves available. All other necessary equipment will be provided.

Registration for the event will close on Friday, September 6 2024, at 4 P.M. If you need to register after the close date, email americorps@mucc.org so the lunch order can be updated.
