GLADSTONE, MI— The U.S. Forest Service is spending $360,000 on two projects in the Hiawatha National Forest.
The first project will support cross-boundary stream inventory and assessments of roads, trails, railroads, dams, and other types of stream crossings.
The second project will complete landline support to improve land ownership boundary monumentation on all three Michigan national forests. The project will establish boundaries for acres to be treated in upcoming restoration efforts. Officials say landlines also serve adjacent landowners and the public as they recreate by preventing unintentional trespass or encroachment.
The projects will be completed in partnership with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources through the Good Neighbor Authority.
