WHAT YOU CAN DO:

2) Please try to attend the Natural Resources Committee meeting on August 12th, public comment will begin at 4:30pm: Lansing Center, 333 E Michigan Ave, Room 201, Lansing. We don't expect the NRC to listen to the people of Michigan any more than they did in the 1980's when they illegally established a dove shooting season, but the press will be there and they need to see a good showing of concerned citizens. Please let us know if you can attend.
