Copperwood is currently seeking a permit from the State of Michigan allowing them to install a mining exhaust vent a mere 200 feet from Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. Please join us tonight at 6pm CT / 7pm ET to strategize our response — you can use this link either to register or join the Zoom meeting directly. It will also be livestreamed on our Facebook page.

Whether or not you attend, please submit written comments opposing the permit to: EGLE-aqd-ptipubliccomments@michigan.gov (deadline November 13th)

We also encourage delivering spoken comments at the October 30th Virtual Public Hearing.

Thank you for your support in protecting the health of this air so cherished by both the human visitors to the State Park and the permanent residents of the old growth forest!
