This Stay Home. Stay Safe. order has many Michigan residents getting outside on public lands, trails, and parks. Things are changing by the day -- state parks in many states are closed, and guidance on social distancing is growing more stringent by the week. In some states, public health officials have raised alarm about people congregating in outdoor spaces like beaches, climbing areas, and trail heads, and in some cases these areas have been shut down by authorities. We highly encourage the use of these outdoor spaces, but with some serious adjustments. |
Heart of the Lakes, mParks, and Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance worked together to share some important guidelines to follow when getting outside. We hope this guidance has some longevity, but regardless, please use your head and take the most precautionary approach you can so we may keep our fellow Michiganders safe and our public lands, parks, and trails open. Please help your friends and family to act with caution and care, too. Be safe out there.
Heart of the Lakes is the collective voice for Michigan’s land conservancies and friends dedicated to the conservation of Michigan’s environmentally and economically significant land and water.
