Researchers urge against dam on Red Lake River near Huot

Bemidji State College researchers release a report opposing Army Corps of Engineers flood dam near Huot. They warn the project would destroy a corridor of forest and wetlands, harm wildlife, disrupt canoe routes, and suggest exploring alternative flood-control methods. Nine students helped in field and lab work across Bemidji and surrounding towns.
