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 activities the
club was involved with
included managing a local walleye rearing pond in cooperation with the
DNR, running a
competetive trap league with teams from the club winning several
trophies statewide, and building and maintaining muzzleloader and rifle
ranges.
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no longer active, the club annually maintains many activities to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. We also sponsor
scholarships for children of members for MUCC summer camp.
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. 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).
