Big Advance in Conservation Is State Plan
Michigan's 1939 conservation program aims to benefit hunters, fishers, campers and picnickers through parks and land acquisitions. The lands revert to state ownership, with about 5 million total acres, and $350,000 in oil and gas revenues added to the state general fund. Parks improvements, frontage acquisitions, and a rising park attendance mark a major push with funds from the WPA CCC and a higher license fee for game protection and scientific fish work. The 277,656,000 fish planted set a record, supporting new hatcheries and a planned fisheries station.
