This summer, FOTR culvert technicians Ben Walski and Jerrad Jankowski led the sampling of over 225 sites along the Lower Rouge and its tributaries where the stream crosses a road. Check out the new stream crossing dashboard, where every single site can be found with corresponding data and scoring. The next step will be to connect with partners and municipalities to identify which sites are  good candidates for an improvement or replacement project to help with fish passage along the river. A giant thank you to Ben and Jerrad for their hard work, project dedication and dashboard creation!

This project is brought to you by:
Friends of the Rouge, Wayne County Department of Public Services Environmental Services Division, Washtenaw County Water Resources, Canton Township, and Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR)

With funding from:
Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service
