The department may expend such funds as may be necessary for the improvement of property, including nonnavigable lakes and streams, riparian zones, and upland, in order to restore, rehabilitate, and improve fish and wildlife habitat. The improvement activities may include, but are not limited to, the removal of barriers to migration of fish and wildlife and the improvement of hatching, feeding, resting, and breeding places for wildlife.
The department may undertake the services and habitat improvement work on private, public, and public trust lands without the state acquiring an interest in the property.
