    Sadly, this fine fellow is inadvertently promoting automobile travel, in a nation where we already burn 13.3 million barrels of oil/day and, thus, are generating the very heat energy that is driving our racing climate collapse. With any luck, the OG that survives our species will flourish, once our mindless, spiritless swarm has been wiped from the evolutionary record book. BTW. Hartwick Pines State Park off I-75 in MI has a stand of white pines 200' tall and 6' in diameter, and there are 66,000 ac. of OG white pine forest in the Porcupine Mountain Wilderness Area in the far western extent of the UP, not far from WI. I detest MI, so you may drive there. If you visit Mackinaw Island, and ride your bike to the Niagara Escarpment there, you can see some of the ancient gnarly cedars clinging to the cliffs, but the best views are on the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, if you have a passport to get into Canada. Enjoy the endtime!

    It’s pretty clear if you ask any harvester that there’s simply too many waterfowl predating on the rice. You check any rice waterbody daily and you’ll see 30 plus geese…. That’s like 60lbs at the very minimum getting eaten every day. If you look at TRADITIONAL management, there were clans specifically dedicated to rice bed nurturing. Nowadays we don’t have these clans managing waterfowl, and muskrat populations.

    The Litle Plover River ran dry the year that Crossroads Common dug their ponds. Did digging these ponds interrupt the flow of groundwater to the springs that feed the Little Plover River? Does the evaporation from these ponds affect the springs that feed the Little Plover River?

  • @davidstakston1950

    Are every DNR ignorant of what the Eastern Cottonwood savannas did in the watershed? The eastern cottonwood savannas would take in water into the trunks of the tree when the water was abundant from the Spring snowmelt. The Eastern Cottonwood savannas would then release the water back into the aquifer in the Fall of the year. The water cannot be held in the tree over Winter because the water would freeze and kill the tree. The evapotranspiration from the Eastern Cottonwood savannas would help with keeping the surrounding air with a higher humidity. With the higher humidity the better chance of rain.

    Out in Western United States they brought back the beaver into the watersheds to build dams. The water held back in the beaver ponds would seep into the ground and refill the aquifers. Would bringing back the beaver in the Central Sands Lakes Study Area streams help to replenish the water in the Central Sands aquifer?

    I’d like to comment on Dr. White’s comment (41:15 +/-) that ‘nature doesn’t use vertical poles’. I’d say partially correct, but let’s go back to function. In western Oregon and Washington nature did provide four, five, and six feet, dbh Doug fir, western red cedar, western hemlock, and Sitka spruce logs into small and large streams. In small streams these logs were as sure an anchor to other downstream headed material as the fixed, vertically driven poles. The vertical poles used in the engineered log jams may not serve the full range of functions as a 600 year old fir dropping in to an Ohop River. They do provide the anchor. Without some kind of anchor we won’t see jams in places they used to exist. No one is going to put logs from trees half a millennia in age, root wad attached, into streams. I assume these very large logs were the founders of the long lived logs jams that nature provided on rivers that at flood stage are massively powerful. Log jams that extended for miles. The Willamette. The Skagit. The Snohomish. The large stumps all along these rivers will rot out, removing their local evidence, and memory will disappear. See Maser et al: ir.library.oregonstate.edu/concern/file_sets/9593v122j?locale=en Until 6’ logs fall into streams again there may be a place for vertical poles.

    We, as a nation, suffer from severe ecological amnesia. Few people of European decent ever saw how the streams looked prior to the eradication of beaver. In reading the Journals of Lewis & Clark they talk about streams as nothing but one continuous beaver swamp in places on the plains. Sadly, few Europeans ever saw this simply because it was typically the trappers and hunters who led the way into new territories and the beaver were long gone before the first settlers arrived. I am a former beaver trapper and am very familiar with their impact on the landscape and when people would want me to trap them, I would try to talk them out of it, but we had no levelers back then and it was a hard sell to try to get them not to have me trap them. I was successful with people who liked to duck hunt though in many cases. Sadly, it is the trout and salmon fisherman who is often behind beaver and beaver dam removal due to the false belief that they somehow inhibit fish migration and raise the water temperature. Salmon and trout evolved with beaver, and I know for a fact, can handle beaver dams with little or no issue. I also know that beaver ponds also are great nurseries for both salmon and trout, recent study after study is proving this. As your presentation showed, beaver dams can actually have a positive impact on water temperatures, which as a young man fishing beaver ponds in North GA I knew they were the best place for brook trout at the southernmost boundry of brook trout range.

      Hi Marc, Eurasian watermilfoil reproduces mostly by fragmentation. Carelessly ripping it out will release fragments that can float away and create new plants. The video demonstrates how to carefully remove it and capture any fragments so that the milfoil population can be effectively reduced. It is an effective approach for small populations as long as it is done properly (removing roots and fragments too).

    • @ExtensionLakes
      @ExtensionLakes 3 роки тому

      @@marcbrazzers Your best bet would be to work with your local DNR lake biologist and possibly a lake management contractor to determine how much Eurasian watermilfoil is in the lake, and what the best control option would be. Every lake is different. Blankets/mats (lumped under the term "bottom barriers") are generally not permitted in Wisconsin because they smother everything, not just invasive plants, and they leave a barren landscape once they are removed. The plants that re-invade tend to be the most aggressive species in the area (usually invasives like Eurasian watermilfoil).
