About Us
The Ravenna Conservation Club was founded in 1967. The clubhouse was built by members on 20 acres of land donated by one of the founding members. Early club activities included
managing
a local walleye rearing pond in cooperation with the DNR,
building and maintaining muzzleloader and rifle ranges,
and running a competetive trap league. The teams
from the club winning several trophies statewide.
While the
competetive trap league and walleye rearing operations are
no longer active, the club annually maintains many
activities to promote and enhance the outdoor experience in
the local area. Among these are planting brook trout in a
local trout stream, rearing and releasing pheasants into
surrounding areas, highwaycleanup, providing MUCC Tracks
magazines and 500 pine trees for children in the local
school districts, and the Hunter Safety program which is
among the largest of it's kind in the state. There are also
non-competetive archery, trap, and muzzleloader shoots held
during the summer that are open to the
public. Other activities that the club hosts
include the Michigan
Trapper Association's Annual Fur Sale each January,
buck pole, pancake breakfasts during January, February, and
March, and our annual Wildlife Banquet.
Membership currently stands at 130 active members. Annual membership costs $35 for individual or family memberships and $30 for senior memberships. As part of your membership, you will have access to the online version of MUCC Out of Doors magazine. If you would like the Michigan Out of Doors magazine mailed to you, there is a $20 membership upgrade fee. Membership meetings are held the first Tuesday of each month and are open to the public. Guest speakers also provide information on many outdoor related topics.
The clubhouse is available
for rent (see Rentals and Calendar
pages for cost and availability as well as contact info).
