Project Updates — Spring 2020
Even with the collective response to COVID-19, the LNRP Team continues to work with a variety of stakeholders on restoration projects throughout the lakeshore. Things have certainly been a little different as we work almost exclusively from our home offices but we continue to plan and design the work plans for these projects. Water quality remains a primary concern and we are working to combine habitat enhancements with improvements in water quality.
Over 1,000 trees planted in 2019 with some of them shown above.
We have built upon our Restore the Shore efforts and have launched a coastal resiliency program. We have worked to align our activities with the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Plan III Focus Areas. And we are building a climate adaptation framework as an underlying theme in everything we do!
