Balancing Waterfowl and Wild Rice

Join the Christian Dahlquist, a Natural Resources Field Technician to learn more about the research project about this valuable resource during the Balancing Waterfowl and Wild Rice event. Wild rice (Zizania Palustirs), called manoomin in the Ojibway language, is a grass found in shallow lake and river bottoms in the Great Lakes Region. Natural stands of wild rice support diverse animal communities and is an important food source for migrating waterfowl. Many factors influence growth of wild rice including water levels and waterfowl herbivory.
