Raw Michigan Acreage
What’s one thing Michigan has plenty of yet? That would be an abundance of land. You can look at the statistic of forest-based land alone in the state and you’ll realize how much we have. Compared to most other states, we have one of the highest amounts of untamed land still available.
Untamed forests cover our mitten state, Michigan houses 19.3-million acres of pure forest, which equates to about 53% of the entire state. 18.6-million of those acres are labeled as “timberland.” This land provides several benefits to us that most people don’t often consider.
It’s estimated jobs based-off of this land alone brings in about $19-billion per-year and helps support upwards of 200,000 jobs state-wide. There are other benefits to this land though. Many Michiganders love the outdoors; they love the wilderness and being deeply rooted within the forest. Whether that means keeping a cabin on that land, using it for camping, hunting or even land for big-boy toys like ATV’s and snowmobiles; there are plenty of options available for any land you may own.
When someone says “Up North,” what do you think of? I’m sure most would imagine lush-vibrant land, cabins, camping and maybe family adventures. Though those visions are true, those same experiences are available much closer to home than you probably thought of.
