Group turns vacant land in Detroit neighborhood into community park

DETROIT, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) – Earlier this year, the park on the corner of East State Fair Avenue and Anvil Street in Detroit did not exist and was an eyesore of vacant land.

Due to the help of many volunteers and neighbors, it’s now a space where those in the community can come together.

“A lot of blight, people were dumping on the site itself, and it just kind of accumulated. Looked really messy,” Detroit resident, Sharon Hayes said.

“It was a place where they would drop trash, debris, it was overgrown with weeds, trees… just an eyesore,” Mohican Regent Resident’s Association Treasurer, Kimberly Slone said. 

What was once an area of land full of junk and debris is now a glimmer of hope and space for people to gather in the Mohican Regent Resident’s Association neighborhood.

“It was such an adventure getting together, working together as one. Just seeing it come to fruition was great,” Slone said.

With the help of the city, grants, and donations, the association was able to buy the eight lots that make up the property.

Throughout the summer, hundreds of volunteers got their hands dirty to clean up what is now a community park.

“We were able to put in a flag, we put in benches over here, we’ve got tables, we’re going to put even more because it’s going to be a sitting park and hopefully we’re going to have some events over here,” Mohican Regent Resident’s Association President,…

ODNR celebrates H2Ohio projects in Mohican River watershed

As part of Governor Mike DeWine’s H2Ohio initiative, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) celebrated the completion of the new East Funk Bottoms and Muddy Fork wetland projects and the beginning of the new West Funk Bottoms project this month.

“Wetlands are incredibly important to water quality, and it’s great to see that these two projects are now complete,” Gov. DeWine said. “The H2Ohio initiative has grown exponentially over the last four years, and we are proud to continue spreading this science-based approach to water quality throughout Ohio.”

The East Funk Bottoms Project has been transformed into wetlands to help reduce erosion and filter sediment and runoff from a heavy agricultural use area. It is adjacent to the Muddy Fork project. Both projects will help filter nutrients during heavy rain events and limit the amount of nutrient flow into the Kiser ditch which ultimately feeds into the Ohio River. They are both within the Funk Bottoms Wildlife Area, a popular place for hunting and birding.

“Every day we’re working to improve water quality by harnessing the power of wetlands,” ODNR Director Mary Mertz said. “These projects not only do that but offer amazing recreational and educational benefits.”

The East Funk Bottoms Project was completed in partnership with The Wilderness Center and the Wayne County Community Foundation. The Wilderness Center purchased the project site and restored the wetland area that sits within the floodplain of the Mohican River. The project will capture drainage from nearby farm fields while holding and treating water through the addition of multiple shallow vernal pools. The site will be seeded with native warm season grasses and trees to further aid in sediment erosion and nutrient reduction.

The Muddy Fork project was also in partnership with the Wayne County Community Foundation as well as the Western…

Berkshire Museum to repatriate Native ancestral remains to Stockbridge-Munsee nation

The Berkshire Museum is repatriating the remains of two Native ancestors to the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians.

In the 1990s, in response to a federal law, the Berkshire Museum classified the two cranial bone fragments as “culturally unidentifiable.” Under federal regulations, if Native remains are not classified as culturally affiliated, museums are not required to proactively reach out to tribes.

In addition to the human remains, the Museum has 13 objects that are believed to have been buried with the remains; 10 pottery shards and three stone tools.

The only documentation the museum has are tiny pieces of paper saying the remains, which were donated in the late 1800s, were dug up from river washout near an Indian burial ground in the Springfield – Longmeadow area.

A 1995 report from the University of Massachusetts concluded these remains belong to one adult and one adolescent.

Now, after consulting with representatives from the Stockbridge – Munsee band, the museum published a notice in the federal register stating the remains are affiliated with that tribe.

Jason Vivori, the museum’s collections manager, said under the lawmuseums determine which tribe the remains belong to, but he said the Berkshire Museum sees the repatriation process differently.

“If they [Native tribes] provide us with a good reason why, we’re not questioning it or challenging it. This is their culture and their ancestors,” Vivori said.

The tribe did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but Bonney Hartley, the Stockbridge-Munsee tribal historic preservation officer, told the Berkshire Eagle, “We are trying to step in and respectfully care for the ancestors and provide a dignified reburial for them, so they don’t remain on shelves at the museum and disturbed in their journey.”

The museum will hold the remains until the tribe is ready to take physical custody of them.

Revised federal regulations that…
