Ashland FRO Assists With Native American Conservation and Restoration Projects

The Service's Ashland Fishery Resources Office (FRO) provides technical assistance on fish and wildlife matters to 14 Native American tribes and associated conservation programs in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Yearly contact is made with natural resource directors in order to assess wildlife technical and financial assistance needs. Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program information was specifically provided this year. We also provide project assistance to additional tribes throughout the upper Midwest where needed. Presently, Ashland FRO is providing financial and technical wildlife habitat assistance to four tribal wetland projects; Lac du Flambeau (195 acres), Grand Portage (45 acres), Menominee (15 acres) and Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission, or GLIFWC, (15 acres). One tribal wetland/riparian project was completed this year, GLIFWC''s 75-acre-1 mile riparian Spring Creek project. Wetland restoration technical assistance is also being provided to the Red Cliff tribe in regards to beaver pond and ephemeral wetland restoration.

Planning is presently underway for a 100-acre prairie restoration cooperative project involving the Service, Prairie Island Indian Community and Circle of Flight.
