Removal of a dam on a Michigan river. Virtually all of Michigan's large rivers had dams constructed on them.

DNR Fisheries employees retrieve the choker cables used to cinch the trees together after they were dropped into the Au Sable River as part of the Au Sable Headwaters Restoration Project. The trees were harvested and then airlifted to the Au Sable River headwaters and strategically dropped into the river. The purpose of the project is to make up for the environmental damage done more than a century ago by loggers denuding the banks. Normally, trees along a river get old, die and fall in. This project tries to mimic nature in creating diverse in-stream habitat. Woody debris has always been a key component for in-stream habitat for a variety of reasons. For one thing, woody debris provides cover for fish to help protect them from predation. Large woody debris also helps increase the productivity of the river by trapping vegetation, an important factor in the food web.
