I am still looking for a viable parcel in SE Mi. Have come across some recent listings in Jackson county that are intriguing, but am running into some questions regarding "wetlands".
Found one map that shows what it calls a "wetlands inventory", but I cannot tell whether what it shows are areas that are restricted/protected/conserved wetlands, or if it just indicates areas where the ground might be marshy at least part of the year.
I could really use some guidance on how one determines whether a given parcel of
land contains wetlands that are legally protected such that I would not be allowed to graze my ducks/geese/pigs/goats over them, or plant rice or paw paw or whatever other
water loving plant I might want to grow.
I am fine with their being wet land on the property - not just fine, look forward to working with it! But I would not want to get my heart set on a piece of land only to find that half of it was off limits for me to do anything with...
So, anyone know where to find information about the location of protected wetlands in Michigan?
Thank you.
