  "projectDescription": "The project goal was to control invasive plant species throughout the lower Black River riparian area in Lorain County, Ohio. The Black River watershed is designated as a Great Lakes Area of Concern (AOC). Removal of invasive species throughout the lower Black River is a key component to the success of restoration activities in the AOC. Both chemical treatment and manual removal methods were used over a two year time period to control invasive vegetation that is widespread within the project corridor. Native shrub species were planted within the project area once the invasive species were removed. Twenty seasonal employees, all of whom were local unemployed residents, were hired by the project.",
