City of Marquette Wetland Mitigation Project
Since 2012, the City of Marquette and Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has partnered with the Marquette County Conservation District in helping with their wetland mitigation projects at the Presque Isle Wetlands behind Moosewood Nature Center, as well as the wetland area located alongside McClellan Ave., across from the Medical Center. With this partnership, we have been able to help restore these wetland areas by planting a variety of native shrubs, trees, and wetland plant species, managing invasive species at both sites, and continually striving to establish a successful native wetland ecosystem.
