Mission Statement:
The Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority, a regional park system created in 1940
by the citizens of Southeast Michigan, provides excellent recreational and educational
opportunities while serving as stewards of its natural resources. Our efforts
are guided by the belief that the use of parks and exposure to natural environments
enhance society’s health and quality of life.
Philosophy/Belief Statement:
What does it mean to be an environmental steward? A steward of the environment strives for the protection and responsible use of natural resources. The Natural Resources Department at the Metroparks is committed to the idea of stewardship and is focused on the following goals: practicing responsible land and wildlife management, providing education to visitors and park partners about natural resource stewardship, and increasing stewardship efforts through volunteerism. Responsibly managing the Metroparks’ natural resources is essential to providing quality natural landscapes for recreational and educational opportunities. The Huron-Clinton Metroparks is also committed to adopting sustainable practices that conserve our limited resources for future generations.
