Invasive Species in the National Parks
Last year the National Park Service produced a series of short documentaries exploring invasive species in the Great Lakes. The series was funded by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative showing how invaders are changing the ecosystems in national parks and what’s being done to stop them.

Weird Wednesday: Michigan Sea Monsters
A pair of excerpts by Linda S. Godfrey from that fascinating tome of Michigan mysteries: Weird Michigan featuring the sea monster of the Straits of Mackinac and the Lake Leelanau Monster.

Urban Birding: Touring the Rouge River
Although most folks think of birding as something done "out in nature," Bootstrap Analysis - a great site for information about Michigan birds & birding - has an interesting feature about the Rouge River in Detroit.
