On the Ground Volunteer Opportunity at Au Train Lake

Americorps • January 25, 2023

Join MUCC’s OTG program in creating brush bundles/woody debris structures at Au Train Lake to improve fish habitat and population numbers!  The project is a part of a larger initiative to work directly with riparian landowners along the shoreline of Au Train Lake and to communicate the importance of shoreline vegetation and in-water habitat structures. These bundles help fish escape predators and give them new areas to spawn. Volunteers will create coarse woody debris structures that will later be deployed throughout the lake to enhance fish habitat.

If you have any questions about this project, please contact Habitat Volunteer Coordinator Kristina Kennedy at kkennedy@mucc.org .

The United States is not shy about using big, beautiful fireworks in celebration of many occasions. July 4th is a day of celebration for many within the country, celebrating the country’s independence from Great Britain in 1776. Fireworks and barbecues are the most common modes of celebration on this day in recognition of the historic significance of the day. While these grand displays are something many look forward to each year, it is important to consider the impacts these explosions have on the surrounding area, including pets and wildlife.
