Welcome to UpperGrandRiver.org!
There's a lot happening in the watershed in 2010 - and we want you to be part of it!
We kicked off new watershed planning in January and finished a series of 5 workshops in June - special thanks to everyone that provided ideas and input for the planning process!
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment (MDNRE) is expected to present their fisheries management recommendations for the Grand River later this summer. We'll combine the input you've provided with results of the fishery study and develop a revised action plan for the Upper.
This website and our FACEBOOK GROUP PAGE will be our principal means of communicating progress and providing draft documents for public review. Please check back here frequently.
On Monday, nearly 200 paddlers finished traveling the length of the Grand River, from headwaters to Lake Michigan, in Grand River Expedition 2010. By all accounts the paddlers enjoyed the trip emmensely and gained new, or renewed, appreciation for this grand river. Click here to read some of the great articles written about our river and the expedition or check out our Facebook page for photos and comments.
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.
