Michigan River Declaration Signed

The Michigan River Network held it’s first annual meeting on July 29, 2000. Thirty people from many different river organizations were present to learn more about the organization, share their thoughts for the future, and attend Membership and Fund-Raising workshops.

In addition to the learning and sharing opportunities, attendees were able to network with other groups doing similar work, meet Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Michigan Department of Environmental Quality staff members, learn about upcoming grant opportunities, and brainstorm about future Michigan River Network activities.

A highlight of the meeting was the writing and signing of the Michigan “River Declaration,” as a confirmation of our joint commitment to protecting rivers and watersheds in Michigan. The declaration will be placed on the Michigan River Network website: www.glhabitat.org/mrn. To learn more about the Michigan River Network or to add your name or organization to the declaration, contact Jill at (231)347-1181 or jill@nature.org.
