Seneca Nation Fish and Wildlife Department
One of the major resiliency projects that our Seneca people are involved in is restoring the Dewënigöh (Hellbender Giant Salamander) population in Ohi:yo'. Dewënigöh is the largest North American Salamander and are only found in the drainages of Ohi:yo' and the Susquehanna River. Fish and Wildlife operates a Hellbender Rearing Facility, in which they rear Dewënigöh and release juveniles back into our river.
In addition to the Dewënigöh restoration project, the Nation's Fish and Wildlife Department is also involved in projects related to the Blanding Turtle, Mussels, and Walleye.
