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, GLIFWCs 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. Prairie restoration technical assistance
was provided to the Prairie Island Indian Community. Planning is presently
underway for a 100-acre prairie restoration cooperative project involving
the Service, Prairie Island Indian Community and Circle of Flight. In
the past few years, Ashland FRO has completed upland and wetland restoration
projects with the Oneida Tribe of Wisconsin, Leach Lake Reservation,
Fond du Lac, White Earth, Red Cliff, Grand Portage, and Lac du Flambeau.
Resource Outputs: The
Ashland FRO is responsible for fish and wildlife technical assistance
