This PowerPoint program is based on a chapter Jim wrote with Julie Craves for the book Honoring Our Detroit River, Caring for Our Home, an anthology edited by John Hartig and published in 2003, but updated to the present. It traces the history of the Detroit River and its biota from prehistoric times to present. It will emphasize comparisons between what the European founder of Detroit, Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, saw in 1701 with what the wildlife is like today on the Detroit River. Jim will also discuss what the prospects are for the future through looking at different habitats including wetlands, prairies, woodlands, aquatic environments, with special sections on birds and Humbug Marsh, the biodiversity gem of the river.
