You don't have to be a scientist to make a difference in the environment. Adopt-A-Stream is a volunteer-based initiative that empowers community members to protect local streams and rivers by monitoring water quality. Volunteers are trained, teamed-up, assigned sites, given equipment and data sheets before being sent into the field to gather information on streamside habitats, physical characteristics, and aquatic insect populations.

Learn MoreThe Clinton River Watershed Council (CRWC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting, enhancing and celebrating the Clinton River, its watershed, and Lake St. Clair.
Through education, stewardship and watershed management, the CRWC makes a difference in our local community for today and future generations. We provide residents, schools, governments, businesses and other community groups with wide-ranging programs and events to ensure a healthy Clinton River Watershed for us all.
To improve the water quality within the Clinton River Watershed, deliberate and coordinated action is required from everyone, from the individual resident to local governments. With time and effort, the Clinton River, its watershed and Lake St. Clair are being restored. Join us as we continue to improve the Clinton River Watershed for this generation and the next to come.
A watershed is an area of land where water naturally collects and drains to one point. The Clinton River Watershed is comprised of thousands of lakes, ponds, wetlands, marshes and bogs – as well as hundreds of miles of coldwater tributaries, brooks, streams and rivers.

Yes, this river in a remote wilderness may rank higher in overall health, but a river flowing through a major metropolitan area is not inherently unhealthy either. A healthy river is comprised of many facets including biological, physical and chemical.
Coming in a wide variety of shapes, colors, sizes and foliage types, there are over 600 Michigan native plants including wildflowers, grasses, ferns, trees, groundcovers, shrubs, evergreens and vines. Native plants are beautiful, easy to grow, absorb stormwater runoff and provide food and shelter for birds and pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
