Muskegon Lake - Back From the Brink May 15, 2019

The Muskegon Lake Watershed is in transition.  As a soon to be delisted Great Lakes Areas of Concern (AOC), all of the major contamination clean ups and large-scale habitat restoration projects have been completed, or will be, over the coming year.

The Muskegon Lake Watershed Partnership and WMSRDC have developed the Muskegon Lake Action Plan, a plan to ensure ongoing stewardship of the restored resources into the future.  The action plan outlines goals and objectives that will keep the lake healthy.  It provides a framework for the continued stewardship and involvement of local communities, state and federal partners, non-governmental organizations, schools and businesses.

To kick off this new era of stewardship and sustainability, the public is invited to participate in a free event at the Frauenthal Center, in Muskegon, Michigan on May 15, 6:00 p.m.

The event, Back from the Brink, will showcase a new short film about the cleanup of Muskegon Lake, followed by a community conversation and discussion about how we can work together to sustain and improve Muskegon Lake’s natural resources for the good of the environment, economy and the quality of life of residents.

We hope you will join us!
