In Michigan, as the ice and snow on lakes thaw this spring, it is not uncommon for people to come across dead fish and other aquatic animals. While it may be alarming, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources explains that this is a normal occurrence as harsh winter conditions can cause fish, turtles, frogs, toads, and crayfish to die.

Prescribed Grazing is a management practice utilized by livestock producers in order to control the timing and amount of vegetation harvested in a pasture setting. When carefully implemented, prescribed grazing can increase livestock production, improve wildlife habitat, reduce erosion and conserve water. The goal of prescribed grazing is to balance the available forage on a given pasture with the number of animals using that pasture to maximize the nutritional needs of the livestock while maintaining healthy forage.
