On Hand

Where does "Up North" begin?


Listen Later

It's a great Michigan debate; what is the line or the place that marks the end of the southern part of the state and the beginning of that mystical land we call Up North?

The answers vary from emotional to philosophical. But there's also an ecological answer that helps us better understand why we feel different when we go Up North. 

Check out the Michigan Natural Features Inventory website for a ton of cool stuff about our natural world.

GUESTS ON TODAY'S EPISODE:

  • Gretchen Whitmer, Governor of Michigan
  • Joshua Cohen, lead ecologist with the Michigan Natural Features Inventory at MSU Extension
