NFWF Grant Profile

Enhance and intensify prior restoration efforts on 486 acres of wetland communities at five sites in the bi-state Calumet region of southern Lake Michigan, including marsh and hemi-marsh, dune and swale, and wet prairie habitat through invasive species control. Project will employ herbicide and prescribed fire practices to sharply reduce remaining invasive patches, halting expansion, removing seed sources that cause re-invasion, and improving overall habitat conditions.
