Both of them are representatives for the partnership with the University and the Service for the Cultural Diversity Program. We also head above the bridge for a great trapping story. This week we start with one of the most coveted hunts we have here in our great state, the northern Michigan elk hunt. Clair for a fun walleye tournament as well! The Refuge forest goal is to favor mast and cavity producing trees without jeopardizing populations of interior forest birds. We never have any trouble getting people to count ducks and deer, but we do have less enthusiasm for trail maintenance. The work performed by these employees included facility maintenance, boundary posting, dike seeding, construction projects, trail maintenance and hunter check station staffing. The refuge boundaries protect a traditional resting place for thousands of migratory waterfowl. In June, Volunteer Ed Becker, was honored with the conservation award from the Michigan United Conservation Clubs. Clair for a heartwarming story. No tree stand out there were received less than herbicide only for duck hunting report. Afterwards everyone actively participated in a waterfowl brood survey and had an opportunity to enter their data in a computer program.

  • Where the Waters Divide: Indigenous Landscapes and Identities in the St. Clair Delta
    Where the Waters Divide: Indigenous Landscapes and Identities in the St. Clair Delta Daniel F. Harrison Wayne State University 1 As borderlands go, the delta of the St Clair River is as much an idea as it is a reality. True, the political boundary between the United States and Canada, between Ontario and Michigan, runs somewhere through it. But it is an imaginary line that one can easily see across to the other side, unlike the lines bisecting the Great Lakes themselves. Almost as easily, one can move from one side to the other, in something as simple and unassuming as a canoe or kayak, as I have done on occasion. Unlike political boundaries on land, there are no man-made physical markers: no fences, walls, or even signs. Along with two other locales—the Saint Mary’s River linking Lakes Superior and Huron; and the Niagara, between Lakes Erie and Ontario—the Strait between Lakes Huron and Erie is a zone of geographic and hydrologic transitions. Two great land masses—the lower peninsula of Michigan and that of southwest Ontario—almost touch. Two enormous bodies of water are linked by a passage that is slender and well-defined along most of its 80-mile length. Aside from a handful of islands, one is either on this or that side of the Detroit River or the St. Clair River. The great exception is the delta where the St. Clair River fans out at the head of Lake St. Clair: 135 square miles of multiple, winding channels and many dozens of islands large and small.
