A new dock for use by school groups and a public fishing pier are  
envisioned as part of a hub for environmental education and outdoor  
recreation at the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge,  
organizers announced today.

The dock and pier are part of a $2.8 million project at the Refuge

president and chief safety and sustainability officer of CN, said in  
a statement.
