Over the past four years KORC members have been instrumental in expanding public lands and protecting public access in the Keweenaw. Our latest Call to Action asks you to once again and nomination form to the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund. These efforts have been incredibly effective in the past, let's keep it up!

The DNR has an opportunity to protect over 15 miles of a major outdoor recreation corridor in Keweenaw County. The main motorized trail corridor in Keweenaw County is the economic backbone of the outdoor recreation industry and tourism in Keweenaw and Houghton Counties. Verdant Timber (TRG) owns about 15 miles of the Main Motorized Trail from Mohawk to the Montreal Meadows. Verdant will not sell a trail easement but can sell the land at any time. State ownership would “lock in” public access, secure the at-risk trail, and provide opportunities for improvements that would benefit a variety of outdoor recreation enthusiasts.
