Local governments play a vital role in protecting our region’s lakes, rivers and streams and the natural areas that contribute to their quality—efforts that ensure clean water and vibrant communities for residents, businesses and farms.

 Join us for a FREE FORUM on recent community accomplishments in protecting natural areas and water resources. Group discussions will provide opportunities to learn from each other. Huron River Watershed Council will share a toolkit of resources with attendees. A myriad of free informational brochures and pamphlets and other water quality associated related literature will be available to attendees.
