Great Lakes Restoration: One Community at a Time Toolkit
Share Your Restoration Success!
Hundreds of local efforts are underway in both the United States and Canada to clean up the Great Lakes. These efforts vary greatly from reducing erosion by restoring streambanks, to cleaning up toxics, to removing alien nuisance plants such as purple loosestrife or phragmites. Please share your local community's effort to improve your corner of the Great Lake Basin. Please download and complete the Restoration Project Success Registration form (in MS Word) and email to restoration@freshwaterfuture.org. You may also send a photograph to accompany your project description.
