Sturgeon Project


The Grand Rapids Chapter of the Michigan Steelheaders with the cooperation of Michigan DNR placed a Lake Sturgeon at Stoney Creek School. Lake sturgeons are listed as a threatened species in Michigan. Please note, it is illegal to hold in captivity any wildlife without the proper permits from the appropiate government agencies. After 4 years of planning and obtaining the necessary permits, this Lake Sturgeon will be at the school on a temporary basis for about 2 weeks.

This is a very excting and educational project. If you would like more information on the Lake Sturgeon, please visit the Michigan DNR site here.
