Grasslands are great: Adopt-a-Game-Area program helps restore grassland habitat

Volunteers stand by a kiosk recently installed at St. Clair Flats State Wildlife Area

While traveling to some of southern Michigan’s state game areas this summer, you might notice something new – kiosks highlighting habitat improvement efforts sponsored by the Adopt-a-Game-Area program.

The program offers hunters and others the opportunity to support grassland restoration projects on public lands that they use and enjoy. These restoration efforts benefit pheasants, deer, turkeys, waterfowl, cottontails, songbirds and native pollinators and provide opportunities for hunting, birding and wildlife photography.
