About this Collection
Seney National Wildlife Refuge is updating the Show Pool Shelter along M-77 to address structural deficiencies and improve functionality for visitors. These actions aim to reduce future vandalism, and other inappropriate uses, and make a more usable space for visitors. These improvements will also reduce the long-term maintenance costs. Project implementation plans and timeline are currently being developed.
