“Michigan’s many habitats remain some of the most precious aspects of this state, and as long as I’m Attorney General I will fight to protect them,” said Nessel. “I am proud of the work done by the dedicated public servants in our Environment, Natural Resources, & Agriculture Division to this end. Their dedication to defending Michigan’s resources touches communities in every corner of our state.”
