Dam removal in the Great Lakes region exposes nutrient-rich bottomlands.
That creates prime real estate for invasive plants.
Restoration solutions include poisoning the invaders with pesticides and spreading native plant seeds to revegetate the bottomlands.
Echo reporters visited Lewton Elementary School in South Lansing, Mich., to find out what kids know about snow days.

Echo asks elementary school kids about the importance of recycling.
Recycling experts add their perspective.
As carbon levels increase from fossil fuel emissions, oceans and perhaps the Great Lakes become more acidic. That could affect freshwater ecology. Researchers want a bigger, better network of Great Lakes carbon sensors.
The Great Lakes’ record-low water levels are rightly receiving all of the attention now, but evidence is growing that Michigan’s fragile groundwater resources are quietly becoming a concern for the future. Robert Glennon, professor of law and public policy at the University of Arizona and author of “Unquenchable: America’s Water Crisis and What to do About It,” knows Michigan well and shares his insights. Echo has reported on the consequences of drought on Great Lakes groundwater – which can also be seen on this map – and the challenge of measuring its effects. The need for better groundwater conservation continues to be a widely overlooked issue facing the Basin.
