Watershed Plan
in the Making
 ast fall the River
Raisin Watershed Council (RRWC) received a grant from the Department
of Environmental Quality to prepare a watershed management plan. The
process is just starting up. A consulting firm will do a lot of the
legwork, but the larger community, including businesses, governments,
organizations and individuals, will shape the final product. The RVLT
is looking forward to being involved in the process. It may not sound
important or exciting, but the watershed is your backyard, the roof
on your house, the streets you drive on, the farmer's fields. When
the rain falls, when the snow melts, the water finds its way to the
river and carries many things with it. The RRWC puts it this way:
"The RRWC Watershed Management Plan will provide a blueprint
to improve water quality, protect natural resources, improve quality
of life, reduce pollution and provide economic benefits." Meetings
and field trips are being planned. The RRWC wants your input. See
the contact information on page 3.
