Cougar Sightings
It has been brought to the townships attention that there have been several cougar sightings in our township over the past several months. We would like to inform our residents of the reporting process if you feel you have sighted a cougar. The DNR should be contacted and this can be done via the web or by phone. The contact is Kristine Bissell (517-522-4097) who works for the DNR in their Grass Lake office. The sighting can also be reported via the web at Michigan.gov/dnrcougars.
The DNR will not come out for sightings. A picture, a paw print or feces are some of the types of evidence that the DNR is looking for to help document the animal sighting. According to Kristine Bissell a cougar will be tan or a light buff in color and the feces will have an offensive ammonia type smell.
