LANSING, Mich. – Gov. Rick Snyder today announced the appointment of Beth Gruden of Perrinton to the Michigan Wildlife Council.
Established in 2013, the Michigan Wildlife Council was created to educate the public about the beneficial aspects of hunting and fishing and the essential role that sportsmen and sportswomen play in wildlife conservation. The nine-member council includes the director of the Department of Natural Resources or his designee and eight additional members appointed by the governor.
“I thank Beth for her commitment to keeping Michiganders informed about all the natural resources our state has to offer,” Snyder said.
Gruden is the owner of Blue Wing Consulting where she works with producers to comply with permits and develop comprehensive nutrient management plans. She holds a bachelor’s degree in animal science from Michigan State University. Gruden will represent agriculture producers in this state and fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Merisa Campbell.
Gruden will serve the remainder of a four-year term expiring March 31, 2018. Her appointment is subject to the advice and consent of the Senate.
