Grasslands provide great benefits to wildlife and people. In addition to providing habitat and food resources for wildlife, grasslands help improve water and air quality - important for all of us in Michigan and throughout the world. They are also simply stunning to view in mid- to late summer, when the prairie wildflowers are in full bloom. In addition, grassland pollinators like bees and monarch butterflies help pollinate our crops, keeping the United States fed. Without grasslands, we'd be in real trouble. Throughout Michigan, grasslands are disappearing to agriculture and development and are now one of the rarest habitat types in the world.
Grassland wildlife needs your help to thrive! The Adopt-a-Game-Area program allows you to sponsor habitat projects on state lands that you use and enjoy. Your support of this program will provide valuable nesting habitat, brood-rearing habitat, foraging habitat and winter habitat for a wide range of wildlife including deer, turkeys, pheasants, ducks, cottontail rabbits, songbirds and pollinators.
You can become a sponsor today! Earn gold (over $25,000), silver (over $5,000) or bronze (over $500) sponsorship levels with your donation.
Sponsors will receive their names and/or logos on the following as recognition for their donations:
