Welcome to UpperGrandRiver.org!

Welcome to the Upper Grand River
Watershed Alliance website. Here's
a look at some of the educational,
policy, and hands-on restoration
activities planned for 2013:


  • Our 5th Annual Winter Stonefly
    Hunt (February 9 - it was
    fantastic, we had 51 volunteers
    brave the cold - THANK YOU!)

  • Stream investigations &
    landowner outreach to reduce
    bacteria levels in Albrow and
    Huntoon Creeks (spring/summer)
  • Dry- and wet-weather water
    quality sampling & dissolved oxygen
    monitoring (spring/summer)
  • Our Spring and Fall Adopt A
    Stream Events
  • and
    more
This website, the calendar at
left, and our FACEBOOK GROUP PAGE
are our principal means of
communicating progress and
providing draft documents for
public review. Please check back
here frequently.

Thank you for checking us out. This
is a shared website for the Upper
Grand River Watershed Alliance, the
Jackson Michigan Urban Area MS4
Stormwater Committee, the Jackson
County Wellhead Protection
Committee, and the Jackson County
Conservation District's Upper Grand
River Implementation Project
(UGRIP).

Within this website you'll find
information about the Upper Grand
River, its beauty, the threats it
faces, and the individuals and
organizations that are working to
protect and restore the river.

Please let us know what you think.
We hope you'll want to learn more
and take part in restoring the
river.
