The University of Chicago’s School of Environmental Sustainability is working on a project to restore biological diverse wetlands at the Northern tip of Michigan’s lower peninsula. The research group is focused on combatting invasive plants that disrupt wetland ecosystems and crowd out native species. The project goal is to develop scalable management strategy for restoring high-quality habitats for birds, fish, and other wildlife.
