Presenting Our Capital City's Largest Waterways Stewardship Event.
KEEP OUR CAPITAL CITY'S RIVERS BEAUTIFUL
Early Committed Partners & Sponsors
You won't want to miss out on our fourth community-wide, waterways stewardship and river trail cleanup. This will be our largest with more activities and special events planned than ever before. We reveal much more than incredible rivers, treasured parks, and a prized river trail, we reveal our community spirit and civic pride.
Because of the efforts of well over 1,300 volunteers, many say that our capital city's rivers, adjoining riverbanks, parks, and river trail, are looking cleaner, appear healthier, and are more pleasant to view and use, than ever before.
Let's not let our remarkable gains slip. We remain committed to maintaining and improving upon what is now Michigan's most scenic, pleasant, and varied urban waterways destination.
Come join us. Either come alone, bring a friend or entire family, or make this a company-wide team building event, and experience the joy and ease in which we accomplish great things when working together. If you wish to be either an event partner or sponsor drop us a note via our contact page, we would love to hear from you. It is because of you our capital city's rivers, adjoining greenways, and river trail are looking its best, ever!

You too will see why so many are passionate about protecting, caring for, and improving our treasured waterways." Every city would love to have what we enjoy, everyday.

CREATING EVEN GREATER IMPACT | PARKS BEAUTIFICATION
In addition to our caring for and improving our treasured Grand and Red Cedar Rivers, adjoining greenways and prized river trail, we're seeking additional opportunities to create even greater impact.
|
With this fall's event we are undertaking two (2) capital city parks beautification projects:
1. Cherry Hill Park (Grand River), Friday, September 20; 9:00 - 3:00PM 2. Kruger's Landing (Red Cedar River), Saturday, September 21; 10AM - 1PM We envision our having these park's grass meticulously mowed, parking lot swept and stripes painted. We will clear the area of all litter, trash, and woody debris, and trim back bushes, shrubs, and trees. We hope to have mulch brought in so we can give the park greater shape, and paint and stain where needed. In Cherry Hill Park we will be working to clear invasive species trees, shrubs, and grasses, then later replace them with natives. This will be done in cooperation with Mid-Michigan Land Conservancy and volunteer groups. |
