Most descriptions about Michigan, from welcome center brochures to Pure Michigan advertisements, feature the state’s rich mix of natural resources.
The state’s 20 million acres of forested land, more than 3,000 miles of Great Lakes shoreline, and 11,000 inland lakes are all sources of recreational enjoyment and critical ecosystem health. While northern Michigan has plenty to offer, residents of southern Michigan also have plenty of natural wonders — sometimes in their own backyards.
To help build the skills needed to understand and keep backyards, neighborhoods, parks and other green spaces healthy, the Michigan State University Extension Conservation Stewards Program (CSP) is offering an opportunity to learn the basics of conservation.
