When we take good care of wildlife and their habitats, it helps Michigan's economy, which relies on outdoor activities like hunting, fishing, camping, and hiking. By working together and using science to manage wildlife, we aim to improve Michigan's wildlife and nature so we can all enjoy it now and in the future.
