Senator Stabenow Honors John D. Dingell During 10th Annual Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge Benefit Dinner

U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow honored the legacy of former Congressman John Dingell during the 10th Annual Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge Benefit Dinner in Wyandotte. The dinner supports the Refuge, which was championed in 2001 by Congressman Dingell to restore the Detroit Riverfront and surrounding ecosystem.

"The Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge is the ultimate tribute to the hard work and vision of John D. Dingell," said Stabenow. "Today, the Friends of the Refuge are building on what he started, restoring wildlife habitats and increasing public access so Michigan families can continue to kayak, fish, or hunt in the Refuge for years to come."

The Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge, which covers 48 miles of shoreline, is the only international wildlife refuge in North America.
