Michigan is blessed with an abundance of fresh water, more than any other state. We have access to four Great Lakes; Michigan, Superior, Huron and Erie. Running through our state we have approximately 51,438 miles of river, of which 656 miles are designated as wild and scenic.
Yet, in our capital city our waterways were under threat. There may be no greater example than with our Grand River, our state's largest river at 252 miles. Less than two miles from our state's capital building there were terrible examples of water pollution and stretches of river that had been allowed to worsen for years. Our capital city's rivers conditions were so bad, it was evident a different approach was needed. This led to our creating Michigan Waterways Stewards. A registered non-profit dedicated to caring, protecting and improving our treasured and vulnerable waterways. |
