Munising, Michigan – Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Upper Peninsula Deer Advisory Team (UPDAT) meeting scheduled for June 8 in Munising must be cancelled. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. The meeting will be rescheduled at a later date.
Deer advisory teams were established to provide direct input to the Wildlife Division based on three regions of the state (Upper Peninsula, northern Lower Peninsula and southern Lower Peninsula). Each region has a deer advisory team made up of members with a direct connection to issues in the region, either as private individuals affected by deer hunting and management or as representatives of organizations with members or constituents in the region. Team members help to communicate with the public and key partners and organizations.
Munising, Michigan - The Upper Peninsula Deer Advisory Team (UPDAT) will meet for the fifth time on Saturday, June 8 in Munising.
“We will be sharing the results of the 2012 hunter harvest survey and finalizing the UPDAT’s buck management recommendation,” said DNR Deer Program biologist Ashley Autenrieth.

(Munising, MICH.) During the week of June 10, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore will have a contractor felling more than 200 diseased beech trees along Miners Castle Road. The work will take place along a one mile stretch of road north of the Miners Falls Road intersection. The felling operation is expected to occur over a three day period beginning Monday with ground crews conducting additional cleanup work for an unspecified amount of time afterwards.
During this time Miners Castle Road will remain open to one lane of vehicle traffic. Park employees will be conducting traffic control during the operation and the public is asked to please slow down and obey signs and flaggers.
This operation is in response to wide spread beech bark disease, a non-native disease complex introduced to northeast North America around 1890. Beech bark disease symptoms were first identified at Pictured Rocks in 2001. Since that time the park has been monitoring progression of the advancing front of the disease while planning and effecting the removal of hazard trees from areas where targets exist (facilities, picnic areas, parking lots, etc.) while the killing advances. The killing front has now spread from east to west through Pictured Rocks, resulting in a high mortality rate for beech trees.
“The park is felling the many diseased beech trees along Miners Castle Road and other areas of the park to protect park visitors,” according to Bruce Leutscher, Chief of Science and Natural Resources. “The operation will also lessen the probability of a catastrophic blow down event that would temporarily close areas of the park and require an emergency response. According to National Park Service policy, felled trees will remain in place on the ground and return to the biomass where they will help replenish soils and help support the next generation of trees that follow.”

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore’s 2013 “Adopt-a-Trail, Adopt-a-Campsite and Adopt-a-Beach” orientation and training session will be held Saturday, May 4, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. It will be held at the Munising Falls Interpretive Center located at 1505 Sand Point Road, across from the Munising Memorial Hospital.
Under this program, interested individuals or groups who enjoy hiking and camping can adopt a section of trail, backcountry campsite or beach segment. Adopt-a-Trail, Adopt-a-Campsite and Adopt-a-Beach volunteers will be asked to visit their section of trail, campsite or beach once a month from May through October for light maintenance duties including picking up litter, light brushing, cleaning out water bars, and breaking up illegal fire rings.
Volunteers will also be asked to fill out a brief one-page summary and to report on any larger issues that need to be followed up or completed by park staff. The park will provide a VIP uniform vest and ball cap, basic tools, gloves, and written guidelines on the work to be performed.
“As with many other public institutions, we need the assistance of volunteers to complement and supplement the work of our paid professional staff,” park Volunteer Coordinator Pam Baker explained. “With over 100 miles of trail and 14 designated backcountry campsites, this is just as true in the backcountry as it is in the developed areas of the park. We are grateful to the citizen-stewards that participated in this program last year, and encourage even more local citizens to become partners with us in taking care of this very special place.”
The park’s trail network has 37 sections that are available for “adoption”. Adoptable sections range from trails that are easily accessible and less than a tenth of a mile to a section of the North Country Trail that is 5.3 miles long. There is something for every ability and level of interest.
“This will be the eighth year for this program and it has been very successful,” according to Baker. We have a lot of very dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers who love to hike and are happy to do some work along the way, and we hope they will be back with us this year. Most of all we want people to have fun and enjoy their time spent in the park. This is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and to be a part of conserving America’s first national lakeshore.”
If you are interested in participating in the program, please call Pam Baker, the park’s Volunteer in Park Coordinator, at 387-3700.
