The BackCast Podcast - ep 9 2021 with Howard Johnson

Happy weekend!  The BackCast Podcast is back with a new episode!  This week; John & Glen sit down with Howard Johnson.  Howard is responsible for the “Cedars for the Au Sable” program.  For 25 years, Howard has made it his passion to line the banks of the Au Sable & Manistee rivers with white cedar saplings.

 

“Key to the protection of the rivers as cold water fisheries is a special cedar seedling planting kit developed by Howard N. Johnson and Cedars for the Au Sable (CFAS). A restoration/reforestation project of the Au Sable River Property Owners Association (ARPOA) since 1997, CFAS and it’s many volunteers have partnered with private river property owners, river conservation organizations and the Michigan DNR to plant over 20,000 northern white cedar seedlings in protective enclosures on the Au Sable and Manistee rivers.”
