Wow! Talk about a successful collaboration for the Village of Kalkaska to plant 40+ new trees! Thanks to Friends of the Kalkaska Conservation District, ReLeaf Michigan, Consumers Energy, the Kalkaska DDA, the Village of Kalkaska DPW, the Kalkaska Scouts, and all the other wonderful volunteers for the hard work to make it happen. It took more than 14 hours and two days of work, but we got it done and it looks so good!

Our awesome Village DPW teamed up with Paul from ReLeaf, and our forester Marshall Moore to get all the trees unloaded, sorted, and placed in the correct spot.

HUGE shout out to our Friends President, Mark Gilson who drilled every single hole to create a cozy place for every single tree! In addition he placed mulch, compost, and got water to all the newly planted trees. We just couldn’t have done it with out him! As always, he was one of the first to arrive and last to leave!

Way to go team! This is a big win for the Village of Kalkaska. Thank you to everyone who came out over the last two days to help grow our canopy! 🙏🏻

Stay Safe, Stay Seen in the Woods! 🧡 🥾 🐶

With hunting season in full swing, please remember to wear blaze orange or bright, high-visibility colors whenever you and your four-legged companions head out for a hike or walk—especially on public lands where hunting is permitted.

A few quick tips for a safe outing:

🟧 Vest up: Wear a bright orange hat, vest, or jacket.

🐕 Glow up your pup: Equip your dogs with orange vests, high-vis harnesses, or brightly colored bandana/collars.

🔔 Make noise: Keep dogs on a leash, try to stick to established trails, and talk or use a collar bell so hunters know you’re nearby.

Stay safe, enjoy the autumn air, and happy hiking! 🍂✨

This was a wonderful day spent learning with our peers! We discussed ways to help conserve the natural resources in Northwestern Michigan, shared successful programs and ideas with one another, and left feeling inspired in how to share it all in future programs at KCD. Thanks to our partners in "Region 3" for a wonderful day!!
