Welcome to UpperGrandRiver.org!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! There is a lot of activity scheduled in the watershed for 2010 - and we want you to be part of it!
We kicked off new watershed planning January 27th and we ran out of time before we ran out of ideas! Click here for the agenda, slides, and notes from the 1st workshop.
We'll continue gathering in a series of workshops (through May) to share information, ideas and priorities for education, outreach, conservation and restoration activities. Please join us. The next workshop will begin at 7 p.m. Wednesday, February 24th at Art 634 in Jackson (map). The existing Watershed Management Plan and related documents can be found on our Reports page and future workshop dates can be found in the calendar at left.
This website and our NEW FACEBOOK GROUP PAGE will be our principal means of communicating progress and providing draft documents for public review. Please check back here frequently.
In July, Grand River Expedition 2010 will see hundreds of paddlers traveling the length of the river: from headwaters to Lake Michigan. Please plan to join us (for a day, multiple days, or the whole trip)! Click here for a map and itinerary of the stops along the way.
If you have questions, or suggestions, or if you'd like to receive email alerts about upcoming events and programs, please send us a note at: contact@uppergrandriver.org.
Thank you for checking us out. This is a shared website for the Upper Grand River Watershed Alliance, the Jackson Michigan Urban Area Phase II Stormwater Committee, and the Jackson County Wellhead Protection Committee. Within this website you'll find information about the Upper Grand River, its beauty and the threats it faces, and the individuals and organizations that are working to protect and restore the river.
Please look through the information contained here and let us know what you think. We hope you'll want to learn more and take part in restoring the river.
