CONCERNED CITIZENS PARTICIPATE IN WATERSHED PLANNING
On Saturday,
February 23rd, 2008, Huron Pines officially launched the North
Branch Au Sable River Watershed Plan by holding an open house stakeholder
meeting. Watershed management is an ongoing effort aimed at restoring,
maintaining, and enhancing water quality. Proper management seeks to minimize
the impact to water resources through the implementation of Best Management
Practices (BMPs), land protection, community planning, and education.
Funding for the
project has been provided by the North Branch Au Sable River Association.

A BOOST FOR FISHERIES HABITAT
Inland Fisheries will receive much needed support from
the Department of Natural Resources this spring. The DNR is currently accepting
applications for the 2008 and 2009 Inland Fisheries Grant program, which offer
grants ranging from $5,000 to $200,000 for local projects that enhance the
state’s aquatic resources. The primary
focus of the program is the Management of Dams. Therefore, projects will only
be considered if they mitigate the impacts on a fishery caused by the operation
of a dam.
The deadline for applications is March 31st,
2008.
