  • Draft Comprehensive Conservation Plan
    Chapter 3: The Environment Chapter 3: The Environment In this chapter: Introduction Climate Island Types, Geology and Soils Archeological and Cultural Values Social and Economic Context Environmental Contaminants Natural Resources Associated Plans and Initiatives Habitat Management Visitor Services Archaeological and Cultural Resources Management Law Enforcement Throughout this document, five national wildlife refuges (NWRs, refuges) are discussed individually—such as the Gravel Island NWR or the Green Bay NWR. This document also discusses all five NWRs collectively as one entity and when doing so, refers to the group as the “Great Lakes islands refuges” or “Great Lakes islands NWRs.” Introduction General Island Geological and Ecological Background Michigan and Wisconsin are fortunate to have many islands that form a “waterscape” unlike any found elsewhere in the world. Of the three Upper Great Lakes (Huron, Michigan, and Superior), there exists approximately 200 islands within the confines of the states in Lake Huron, 76 in Lake Michigan, and 175 in Lake Superior (not counting 86 in the St. Mary’s River) (Soule, 1993). The glacial history of island chains differs across the Upper Great Lakes. Glacial till overlying limestone bedrock forms the bulk of the Beaver Island group in northern Lake Michigan, although Pismire Island (part of Michigan Islands NWR) is an example of a sand and gravel bar island. Conversely, most islands in Lake Superior are formed of igneous and metamorphic bedrock, with the Huron Islands (of Huron NWR) being the result of granite upthrusts (Soule, 1993). Post-glacial history of these islands also varies. National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS, Refuge System) records indicate that many of the islands of Michigan Islands NWR were either impacted by human habitation (Gull Island) or by other uses (e.g., Hat Island was used as bombing range prior to refuge establishment) (Gates, 1950).

  • Management Plan for State-Owned Lands on Northern Lake Michigan Islands
    Management Plan for State-owned Lands on Northern Lake Michigan Islands Michigan Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Division Revised February 2017 Photo by Josh Cohen, Michigan Natural Features Inventory Page | 1 Purpose and Need for the Plan Several recent efforts have highlighted the need to examine state land management on Lake Michigan islands and formulate an approach for effective management of these unique resources in the future. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR or the Department) recognizes that state land management actions can have social, economic, and ecological impacts within and beyond state land borders. In addition, actions on lands adjacent to state land can have similar effects. Based on these relationships, the DNR has undertaken a collaborative approach to developing this plan. The purpose of this plan is to provide a vision and intended actions for the future management of state owned lands on northern Lake Michigan islands, in partnership with local units of government, tribal governments, and other interested stakeholders. In 2013, the Department published a draft Managed Public Land Strategy, and in the same year, the Beaver Island Natural Resources and Ecotourism Steering Committee developed Recommendations for Natural Resource Management in the Beaver Archipelago. At a very high level, the Department’s Managed Public Land Strategy answered questions regarding the location of public lands, what values are associated with those lands, and how the Department manages them today and how they should be managed in the future. The Strategy provided a broad framework for the continued conservation, use and enjoyment of these lands that was congruent with the Department’s goals of protecting cultural and natural resources, providing recreational opportunities, and fostering economic prosperity.
