ICRN Quarterly Meeting | The Dowagiac River Restoration Project

The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians has been working to restore historic meanders to a section of the Dowagiac River surrounded by tribal properties since 2011. The Dowagiac River was dredged, straightened, and disconnected from its floodplain in the early 1900s. The Pokagon Band is seeking to reverse the negative effects of dredging and straightening. Meander restoration increases the system’s resiliency, reduces turbidity, restores hydrological functioning, increases wetland acreage, doubles the length of the river in the project reach, and creates more functional in-stream habitat.
