Restoring oak ecosystems near the Little Manistee River

In the uplands adjacent to the Little Manistee River, the Forest Service has been focusing on restoring oak ecosystems.  We’ve been partnering with the National Wild Turkey Federation, Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, and Grand Valley State University to restore wildlife habitat for species associated with oak ecosystems. 

This work was recently featured on the Forest Service’s “Inside the Forest Service” blog: Active forest management restores Michigan’s historical habitat.
