This Project Grant award of $808,519.00 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service under the Cooperative Forestry Assistance program (CFDA 10.664) will fund a multi-year initiative focused on invasive species management and ecological restoration across nine counties along Lake Michigan's shoreline in Michigan. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) treat ecologically important properties, 2) educate the public on hemlock management options through workshops and technical assistance, and 3) provide materials to landowners to encourage landscape-level stand regeneration. The award recipient, the Ottawa Soil & Water Conservation District, will collaborate with government agencies, environmental partners, and local landowners to implement scientifically-driven conservation strategies that preserve habitat, maintain water quality, and protect regional biodiversity. The project period runs from the award date of June 24, 2025 through the ultimate completion date of November 1, 2029.
