LANSING, MICH. -- May is American Wetlands Month, and to celebrate, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources is hosting a photography contest to encourage birders, anglers, photographers, paddlers and other outdoor enthusiasts to visit the state’s “Wetland Wonders.”
The annual Explore MI Wetland Wonders contest highlights 15 state-managed wetlands — largely in state game areas and state wildlife areas — aimed at providing high-quality habitat for waterfowl and water birds while offering outdoor recreation opportunities. According to the DNR, these areas are funded by hunting license fees, but are open for anyone to visit and enjoy most of the year.
