LANSING —The public has about two more weeks to enter the Explore MI Wetland Wonders Challenge by visiting one of Michigan’s Wetland Wonder. Entries must be received by July 16.
Scattered across the state, from Portage Marsh State Wildlife Management Area in the Upper Peninsula to Pointe Mouillee State Game Area just 25 miles from the Ohio border, Michigan’s Wetland Wonders provide year-round recreation opportunities like birding, boating, fishing, hiking, photography and hunting.
Document your trip to a Wetland Wonder with a selfie and you could win a $1,000 Cabela’s gift card for outdoor gear. The more Wetland Wonders you visit, the more entries you get. Can you visit all 15? The Explore MI Wetland Wonders contest is sponsored by Consumers Energy with partners MI Birds and Michigan United Conservation Clubs.
Four lucky winners will be randomly drawn July 23. Each will receive a gift card; the grand prizewinner will take home a $1,000 gift card, the second prizewinner $750, the third prizewinner $500 and the fourth prizewinner $250.
To be entered in the drawing, take a selfie by a sign with the name of the state game or wildlife area at one of Michigan’s 15 Wetland Wonders locations. Email your photo along with your name, email address, phone number and mailing address to DNR-WetlandWonders@Michigan.gov.
Michigan’s Wetland Wonders provide high-quality wetlands for waterfowl and waterbirds while offering outdoor recreation opportunities. These areas are funded by hunting license fees, but they are open for anyone to visit, use and enjoy most of the year.
