The Sault News Michael Hindy was always attracted to natural resources as he spent the majority of his time as a child outdoors. He recalled playing in the flowing water of melted ice in springtime and exploring the woods at his neighbor’s residence. Some of his favorite memories include fishing with his father or camping at Tahquamenon Falls with his family. This love for the outdoors grew into his adult life as he’s now the coordinator of the Upper Peninsula’s Three Shores Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area, also known as the CISMA. “Growing up in Michigan, I was never more than a few minutes from an adventure,” said Hindy. “That’s what attracted me to a career in natural resources: a chance to enjoy the beauty of our state and actively work to keep it beautiful every day.”
