LANSING, Mich. – Gov. Rick Snyder today announced the reappointment of Erin McDonough of Williamston to the Natural Resources Trust Fund Board.
The board oversees the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, which provides financial assistance to local governments and the Department of Natural Resources to purchase land or rights in land for public recreation or protection.
