Rural landowners can access higher financial aid through the Forestry Incentives Program under RECP, with 50 to 75 percent cost sharing for tree planting and improving stands. Eligibility expands beyond farmers to private individuals and groups owning up to 500 acres, requiring a Forest Management Plan with the district forester and DNR.

Michigan law tightens littering penalties and presumes driver duty
Michigan amendments to the anti litter law take effect March 29, boosting fines from 160 to 400 and up to 90 days in jail. Drivers and vehicle owners are presumed responsible for litter dropped from their vehicle or vessel. State police plan higher enforcement with prior arrests totaling 376 for littering and 236 convictions last year. The state will spend about 1.25 million dollars on litter pickup along 9 250 miles of highways.
