LANSING, MI Michigan Senate Republicans have advanced a resolution that urges wildlife officials to hold a gray wolf hunting and trapping season in the Upper Peninsula this year following the loss of endangered species protections.
The non-binding resolution, S.R. 15, is sponsored by Sen. Ed McBroom, a lawmaker from the western U.P. who chaired a Wednesday, Feb. 24 hearing in which he criticized state officials for delaying the decision on another hunt until mid-2022.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) says it’ll take until at least next June to update the state’s 2015 wolf management plan and hold a public opinion survey. The DNR wants to finish those before deciding on another hunt.

A bill backed by farmers and environmentalists establishing the stateâs first carbon market has passed its first hurdle toward becoming a law.
Senate Bill 373, authored by three Republicans, establishes carbon market registration program that facilitates carbon market trading in the state and allows the President Benjamin Harrison Conservation Trust Fund to take part.
Carbon markets work by allowing companies to offset the amount of greenhouse gases they emit by purchasing carbon credits worth a certain amount of carbon dioxide emissions.
Farmers, ranchers and foresters can generate carbon credits to trade by using environmentally sustainable farming practices that will retain a verified amount of greenhouse gases.
