Nonpoint Source Pollution

November 25, 2013 By Doug McLaughlin

Kalamazoo Community Foundation supports watershed management planning

The Kalamazoo Community Foundation recently announced the Spirit of Community Environment Fund grant recipients for 2014. The Kalamazoo River Watershed Council’s proposal to conduct non-point source inventories along the Kalamazoo River and connecting tributaries in Kalamazoo County was selected for funding. We are grateful for their support and look forward to advancing our watershed implementation plan. As part of this project, we will connect with a variety of stakeholders to further advance and prioritize their water quality project ideas.
