The Allegan Conservation District is wrapping up a two year project restoring oak savanna in the Allegan State Game Area. Now that these areas have been restored, they can be more easily maintained using techniques like prescribed fire.
Our Board of Directors meetings are held on the third Tuesday of every month at 5 pm at the Allegan District Library. Allegan County residents are welcomed and encouraged to attend.
