Name: Mrs.
Location: N/A
Country: N/A
Date: N/A
Question:
My husband & I own 30 acres of prime moose habitat. Unfortunately they have just about eaten up all of the aquatic browse. Either that or the hard winters in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the fact that we have a shallow lake has killed these plants the moose like. What would be best to plant native to our lakes in michigan for the moose? They like aquatic plants the best that we have observed from afar, but what kinds.

Hope you can help. The biologist for our area is new & didn't have any names of aquatic plants.
