Michigan has over 56,000 square miles of land, but who owns it, and how much of it is foreign-owned? IPPSR and the Canadian Studies Center held a forum on Thursday, January 22nd, that discussed foreign ownership of land in Michigan and its impact on the state's forestry and agricultural industries. There was also a discussion of the Canadian wildfires and wildfire response.
