Aquatic Habitat Improvement Project

Ottawa National Forest Baraga; Gogebic; Houghton; Iron; Ontonagon, Michigan Ottawa National Forest All Units

We propose to restore aquatic habitat over the next 10 years (2016-2026) by adding large woody material to lakes and streams across the Ottawa National Forest.

Location

Many streams and lakes across the Ottawa National Forest could benefit from habitat improvement. Specific sites will be determined by specialists annually.
