Camp Grayling Expansion

The HeadWaters Land Conservancy does not usually take positions on policy issues faced by our governmental leaders. However, at its December, 2022 meeting, the Board of Directors considered the current proposal to expand Camp Grayling. The Board determined that such expansion could have significant implications for the environment, economy, and way of life in northern Michigan. As a result, the Board unanimously voted to oppose the proposed expansion until a comprehensive review of its potential impacts, as well as the underlying need for the project, is completed and made available to the public for review and comment. We expressed that position in the following letter to Department of Natural Resources Director Shannon Lott.
