Manitou River– Site M-47

Alternative Livestock Watering Area & Riparian Vegetation Restoration

This community driven project set out to improve the ecosystem and protect river banks from future deterioration in theManitouRiver.  The work was completed according to the site plans through the cooperation of landowners, dedicated volunteers, consulting expertise of Great Lakes Environmental Services (GLES) and equipment, material, and services of S & T Landscaping.  Positive results from this project will demonstrate the valued benefits to other local landowners who are apprehensive about the project.  Funds from various sources were used to complete this project COA, Eco-Action, CFWIP amd Manitoulin Transport.  CFWIP funds were used to purchase some of the materials and rental of equipment used on this project. Volunteers transplanted native vegetation to riparian area and installed fencing to restrict cattle. Photos were sent from the landowner of his cattle using the Frostfree Nosepump in -20oC weather.  The Frostfree Nosepump was installed to mitigate cattle from having to use the stream as a watering source.  This reduced the deterioration of the stream banks, widening of the stream, and the release of sediment downstream covering up critical habitat that is used for foraging, spawning and rearing.  This project will be completely finished in the up coming year by installing fence to the remainder of the property to prevent the cattle from reaching the river.
