Relatives of the MC/MNR magazine:
Will go here; including information on books authored or edited by MC/MNR staff, books published by the magazine, other documents related to the magazine, periodicals published now that provide some similar information, and such. Below is a very rough preliminary start...

1. Books by MC/MNR staff:

Warbach, Oscar (Ozz): Mother Nature's Michigan
Bradt, G. W and Charles E. Schafer: Michigan Wildlife
Sketches
My new friends were barefoot by John Gray. - A story of growing up in the upper Peninsula town of Sagola during the 1920's. Available for sale and as online text from the Ralph Secord Press of the Menominee County Library (many other interesting titles too!)

4. Magazines published now with similar content:

Michigan Natural Resources was great, but is, unfortunately, long gone. Fortunately there are still some magazines - many also with long and distinguished histories themselves - that will also appeal to the sort of person who likes MC/MNR. They're not the same, but still good. Some of those people who contributed to MNR have in the past contributed, or even now contribute to these.

The Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC) publishes Michigan Out of Doors.
