11/14/13 - Three properties owned by Hartland Township are open to all residents who want to hunt there. The township acquired the properties during the recession, and any township land not designated as public park land is legally available to hunters. Planning Planning Director Dave Campbell says any hunting activity that can legally be done on state land can also be done on township land. The properties include 95.5 acres on the northeast corner of Clyde and Runyan Roads near US-23, 78.5-acres on the southwest corner of M-59 and Pleasant Valley Road, and 30 acres on the northwest corner of M-59 and Fenton Road. Campbell tells WHMI the land will be open for every hunting season, not just whitetail season, for as long as the township owns it. All three properties are up for sale, and if they are purchased by a third party, hunting rights will be up to the new owner. Campbell says hunters do not need to check in with the township before using the land so long as the law is followed, but they can contact township officials for more information. (TD)
