Greenlight A Vet
What is Greenlight A Vet? America’s veterans are some of our nation’s bravest, hardest-working men and women. However, it’s hard to show them the appreciation they deserve when, back home and out of uniform, they’re more camouflaged than ever. Greenlight A Vet is a campaign to establish visible national support for our veterans by changing one light to green. This is also an excellent way to acknowledge and say thank you to our ULLE vets.

The Health of Upper Long Lake
In late September 2017, we were lucky to have the “Friends of the Rouge” volunteers come out and do a fish study. They found a tremendous variety of healthy fish. On Saturday, 9-23-17, at Upper Long Lake, they took home some of the small minnows because they are VERY difficult to identify without close magnification. He found an odd looking minnow and identified it as a Pugnose Shiner (Notropis anogenus) The ID was confirmed by Gerald Smith of University of Michigan and the fish will be sent there as a voucher specimen. This is one of the rarest fishes anywhere it is found and a Michigan endangered species.
