DU has received a $1MM grant to protect, restore and enhance some 4,747 acres of wetland and associated habitats in 21 counties located from Saginaw Bay to coastal Lake Erie on the east shore of MI's Lower Peninsula. The habitat protected and restored through this work will provide breeding and migration areas for waterfowl as well as other grassland nesting birds. This grant piggy backs on the great work that is being done on some 16,000 acres in the Saginaw Bay area.
