Conservancy Offers Places for Both Hunters & Non-Hunters |
|
Little Traverse Conservancy provides opportunities to get out in the woods on lands that are open and lands that are closed to hunting.
Interactive maps of Conservancy-owned nature preserves can be found at www.landtrust.org or on the free nature preserve app, LTC Explorer (Google or Apple app stores). Dogs are allowed on most Conservancy preserves or reserves, but they must be kept on a leash. Please respect that there may be children or people who are afraid of dogs on the trails and obey this statewide law. Dogs that are legally engaged in hunting on lands enrolled in the Commercial Forestry Act are not required to be on a leash.
It is important to note that the majority of hunting occurs at dawn and dusk. For more information about hunting on preserves (including a list of preserves where hunting is permitted), visit HERE.
Recommended preserves (and assist projects) across the Conservancy’s five-county service area that are closed to hunting are listed below:
Charlevoix County: Nathan “Barry” Driggers, The Hill, Charles A. Ransom, Raven Ridge, Rogers Family Homestead, Portions of St. Clair Lake/Six Mile Lake Natural Area, and Wisser-Saworski. Beaver Island: Barney’s Lake, Little Sand Bay, and George and Althea Petritz.

Consumers Energy: We Can Power 1 Million Electric Vehicles on Michigan Roads by 2030 |
|
Consumers Energy is taking its leadership of Michigan’s electric vehicle transformation to another level, committing to powering 1 million electric vehicles by 2030. The goal would put Michigan in the driver’s seat for the next generation of clean, zero-emissions vehicles and support the auto industry’s goal to have electric vehicles be 50% of new sales by 2030.
Today, there are about 12,000 registered EVs in Consumers Energy’s territory, and electric vehicle sales already have been growing by 20% annually. That growth should accelerate due to commitments by U.S. automakers as well as Michigan’s partnership with other states to build fast EV charging stations, a major step to encourage potential EV buyers.
Consumers Energy’s own actions are already playing a significant role in EV growth:
-
n Over 1,000 rebates for home, business and public charging stations through its PowerMIDrive program. Those include 30 fast-charging locations.
- n Plans to power the growing demand for EVs, with 200 fast-charging locations – and over 2,000 chargers at homes and businesses – across Michigan over the next three years.
-
n PowerMIFleet, which provides Michigan businesses with expertise and guidance to electrify their vehicle fleets.
-
The new Bring Your Own Charger program, allowing EV owners to receive energy savings and monthly rebates for charging at night.
