River Rescues -Clean Ups

River Rescues - Clean Ups are a fun in the water stewardship activity that we have participated in with the help of Van Buren Conservation District over the years. It is not a regular activity and we had more of these in the past. We are fortunate that the rivers have not been too polluted with trash, but it does still happen, and these stewardship efforts will be needed from time to time. 

STAY TUNED FOR A POSSIBLE RIVER RESCUE 2023!! MORE DETAILS TO COME.

Notes from the 2013 River Rescue: 

Thanks to the many volunteers who turned out on August 3rd to help retrieve an unbelievable amount of litter and tires from our waterways. And thanks to the Van Buren Conservation District for organizing the event. Several other crews worked at other sites near and on the Paw Paw and Black Rivers.  The ironic thing is that the folks responsible for the litter probably live nearby the dump site and may soon be drinking that which leach from their litter.
