The Michigan Resource Stewards is an organization founded by resource professionals who spent a career working in the public or private sector managing and protecting our natural resources. The organization was formed in 1997 to continue the fight for protection of our environment and natural resources by the same people who had dedicated their working lives to this noble objective.

Since its inception the Michigan Resource Stewards has earned a strong reputation as an organization that uses sound science in arriving at positions on a wide variety of issues, ranging from ensuring that Chronic Wasting Disease does not infect our wild deer herd to wise management of our public forest lands. Individual members have testified before various commissions, boards and legislative committees, and serve on a variety of work groups to share the expertise and experience they have accumulated over decades of hands-on involvement. The Stewards strongly oppose at every turn the politicization of resource management, or decisions based on unscientific principles, and are a respected and outspoken voice on behalf of the long-term use and conservation of Michigan's natural resources.

The Resource Stewards is an active member of the Michigan United Conservation Clubs. The Stewards bring an immeasurable amount of hands-on professional experience in all aspects of conservation and environmental protection, in both the public and private sectors.
