New Public Hunting Lands Maps Available Online
Department of Natural Resources officials have announced the creation
of a new collection of maps on the agency’s Web site that identify all
lands that are open to public hunting in Michigan.
Hunters can click on a particular county and see not only the state
forest, wildlife management, and parks and recreation lands open to
hunting that are administered by the DNR, but also all federal lands as
well as private lands that are open to the public through the Hunter
Access Program (HAP) or the Commercial Forest Act.
“Compiling a database of all lands open to public hunting was a
recommendation of the Hunter Recruitment and Retention Work Group,”
said DNR Director Becky Humphries. “It took a lot of effort from our
staffs in the Wildlife, Parks and Recreation, and Forest, Mineral and
Fire Management divisions to get this accomplished, and we are very
pleased with the results.
“Our work group identified access as a potential hurdle to would-be
hunters,” Humphries continued. “Now hunters can find access to land
with the click of a mouse.”
To find the maps, go the DNR Web site at www.michigan.gov/dnr and click
on “Publications & Maps.”
The DNR is committed to the conservation, protection, management, use
and enjoyment of the state's natural resources for current and future
generations.
