Here is the obvious truth the governor wants to hide.  State laws don’t protect us from violence.  The police don’t protect us.  In fact, New York...

Michigan DNR’s Habitat Improvement Account to Fund Five Projects on Key Rivers

Mon, 10/12/2015 - 07:27

Sendek, who had worked on the Au Sable River system for much of his career, said the placement of new cover and restoration of aging structures will help manage the sand, which is covering up valuable gravel.Part of the project involves busing a large woody debris structure just upstream from the Twin Branch Bridge, which Sendek said was poorly designed and causes increased sedimentation. The structure will trap sand that is moving downstream and will eventually be an island with vegetation growing on it that will improve stream function.
