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.

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.

    United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Eastern Region Non-Native Invasive Species Eastern Region Program Accomplishments 2011 Buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) Zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) Goatsrue (Galega officinalis) Emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) Feral pigs (Sus scrofa) Title text hereUSDA Forest Service - Eastern Region Invasive Species Management 2011 Program Accomplishments CARING FOR THE LAND AND SERVING PEOPLE … the mission of the USDA Forest Service is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the Nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations. Further, the Forest Service advocates a conservation ethic in promoting the health, productivity, diversity, and beauty of forests and associated lands; to that end the control of non-native invasive species is paramount to the agency’s mission. On December 5, 2011 the Forest Service announced the publication of its first ever national-level direction on the management of invasive species across aquatic and terrestrial areas of the National Forest System. “Invasive species cost the American public an estimated $138 billion each year. They deplete water supplies, destroy recreation opportunities and damage landscapes across the country” said U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell. “We are taking this bold approach to better protect our nation’s forest and water resources from the threat of invasive species.” As follows is a summary of this document. FSM 2900–Invasive Species Management. Amendment no. 2900-2011-1.Effective Date = 2/5/2011. This new chapter replaces FSM 2080 (noxious weed management). Management activities for aquatic and terrestrial invasive species are based upon an integrated pest management approach on all areas within the NFS and on areas managed outside of the NFS under the authority of the Wyden Amendment, prioritizing prevention and early detection and rapid response actions as necessary.
