LANSING, MI-- State Senator Tom Casperson is inviting U.P. residents to participate in a Natural Resources Committee hearing via teleconference.
The committee will hear testimony on Senate Resolution 79, which asks the U.S. Forest Service to issue special use authorization to owners of private hunting camps on leased land in the Ottawa National Forest.
Casperson says 104 property owners are concerned they could lose their camps to the federal government if special use authorization isn’t granted.
The hearing gets underway Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. in Lansing. Residents can join the videoconference at Michigan Works on East Quincy Street in Hancock.
