river restoration

The release follows years of planning and months spent carefully raising the fish, from which the City of Grayling got its name.

Money is going to efforts to conserve waterfront in Elberta, restore Arctic grayling to rivers and reforest northern Michigan after the ice storm.

It’s rare for the species to show up in the river. Sturgeon haven’t been able to spawn there for 150 years.

The fish will be released into three northern Michigan rivers.

Three aging culverts will be removed — two of which are the last human-made obstructions on main stem of the Jordan River.
