UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1941 sEr^ •*«$• . AU TRAIN FALLS ON THE HIAWATHA NATIONAL FOREST. Drama of Michigan Forests DRAMA of the forests of Michigan has been written in several acts THEeach with its colorful pageantry. The action has concerned the magni ficent woodlands of the redman, the rapid depletion of those forests in the last century, and their slow but sure rebuilding in the present. The elusive "northwest passage" to China, Indian furs and Indian souls, iron and land and copper brought the white men to Michigan. In 1621, only 1 year after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, young Etienne Brule, protege of Champlain, reached Lake Superior and was disappointed to find its waters fresh. Thirteen years later, Jean Nicolet, another protege of the French governor of Canada, entered the unknown Lake Michigan through the Straits of Mackinac. Though he never found the longed-for route to the Orient, Nicolet did initiate the French fur trade with the Indians in this territory. Heroic followers of Brule and Nicolet were the Jesuit fathers Jogues and Raymbault, who preached to the Ojibwas in 1641 at Sault Ste.

IX.1 Rock Lake NMF Conducted surveys with assistance from Otto Jacob during one of the days. Surveys focused on dry-mesic northern forest and granitic features within the forested matrix. Documented high-quality dry-mesic northern forest, granite bedrock glade, granite cliff, poor fen, northern wet meadow, and submergent marsh. The juxtaposition of high-quality bedrock features adjacent to high-quality wetlands was notable. In addition, the following natural communities were identified as inclusions or zones within these communities or were noted in passing during the course of surveys: rich conifer swamp, muskeg, and northern shrub thicket.

  • Executive Summary
    Ontonagon River Assessment EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This river assessment is one of a series of documents being prepared by Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR), Fisheries Division, for Michigan rivers. This report describes the physical and biological characteristics of the Ontonagon River, discusses how human activities have influenced the river, and serves as an information base for future management activities. Our approach is consistent with Fisheries Division’s mission to “protect and enhance fish environments, habitat, and populations and other forms of aquatic life and to promote the optimum use of these resources for the benefit of the people of Michigan.” River assessments are intended to provide a comprehensive reference for citizens and agency personnel seeking information on a particular river. By compiling and synthesizing existing information, river assessments reveal the complex relationships between rivers, watershed landscapes, biological communities, and humans. This assessment shows the influence of humans on the Ontonagon River and provides an approach for identifying opportunities and addressing problems related to aquatic resources in the Ontonagon River watershed. We hope that this document will increase public awareness of the Ontonagon River and its challenges, and encourage citizens to become more actively involved in decision-making processes that provide sustainable benefits to the river and its users. This document consists of three parts: an introduction, a river assessment, and management options. The river assessment is the nucleus of the report. It provides a description of the Ontonagon River and its watershed in thirteen sections: geography, history, geology, hydrology, soils and land use, channel morphology, dams and barriers, water quality, special jurisdictions, biological communities, fishery management, recreational use, and citizen involvement.

The HMNF detennined that the proposed actions were "Likely to Adversely Affect" the norihern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). We base the enclosed Opinion on information provided in several documents, including your northern long-eared project matrix and Biological Assessment, the Programmatic Biological Assessment and Opinion for the HMNF's Land and Resource Management Plan, and our April 1, 2015, Conference Opinion. Other sources ofinfonnation include previous telephone conversations, e-mails and meetings. A complete administrative record of this consultation is on file at our East Lansing Field Office. After reviewing the current status of northern long-eared bat, the environmental baseline for the action area, the effects of the proposed action, and the cumulative effects, it is our biological opinion that the action, as proposed, is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of northern long-eared bat With respect to ESA compliance, all aspects of the project description are binding.

  • Petition to List US Populations of Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser Fulvescens)
    Petition to List U.S. Populations of Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) as Endangered or Threatened under the Endangered Species Act May 14, 2018 NOTICE OF PETITION Submitted to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on May 14, 2018: Gary Frazer, USFWS Assistant Director, [email protected] Charles Traxler, Assistant Regional Director, Region 3, [email protected] Georgia Parham, Endangered Species, Region 3, [email protected] Mike Oetker, Deputy Regional Director, Region 4, [email protected] Allan Brown, Assistant Regional Director, Region 4, [email protected] Wendi Weber, Regional Director, Region 5, [email protected] Deborah Rocque, Deputy Regional Director, Region 5, [email protected] Noreen Walsh, Regional Director, Region 6, [email protected] Matt Hogan, Deputy Regional Director, Region 6, [email protected] Petitioner Center for Biological Diversity formally requests that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (“USFWS”) list the lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) in the United States as a threatened species under the federal Endangered Species Act (“ESA”), 16 U.S.C. §§1531-1544. Alternatively, the Center requests that the USFWS define and list distinct population segments of lake sturgeon in the U.S. as threatened or endangered. Lake sturgeon populations in Minnesota, Lake Superior, Missouri River, Ohio River, Arkansas-White River and lower Mississippi River may warrant endangered status. Lake sturgeon populations in Lake Michigan and the upper Mississippi River basin may warrant threatened status. Lake sturgeon in the central and eastern Great Lakes (Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River basin) seem to be part of a larger population that is more widespread.

  • Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) Grants for 5 Active Or Completed Projects
    The COUNTY ALCONA MICHIGAN NATURAL RESOURCES TRUST FUND was established under the Kammer Recreational Land Trust Fund Act of 1976 to provide a permanent funding source for the public acquisition of land for resource protection and public outdoor recreation. Funding is provided by revenue derived from royalties on the sale and lease of state-owned oil, gas and mineral rights. This landmark piece of legislation came to fruition thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Michigan Oil and Gas Association, Michigan United Conservation Clubs and state legislators on behalf of all Michigan citizens. The MNRTF has contributed immeasurably to protecting our state’s natural beauty and helped paved the way for wise and prudent development of our state’s abundant energy resources. To date, the MNRTF has awarded over $1.1 billion in grants to Michigan’s state and local parks, waterways, trails and nature preserves throughout all 83 counties. Of this total, $245 million has been invested in trails. In excess of 1,000 public parks have been acquired and / or developed. Other projects funded include ball fields, tennis courts, trailheads, restrooms and other amenities, for a total of just under 2,500 MNRTF-assisted projects since 1976. ALCONA COUNTY Alcona County has received $644,100 in Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) grants for 5 active or completed projects.
