Students protect local watersheds through Project GREEN

Students protect local watersheds through Project GREEN

Developed in 1984 at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, GREEN engages more than 100,000 middle- and high-school students in 20 states each year to monitor the streams, creeks and rivers in watersheds across the United States. Flint River GREEN is one of the largest of these local programs.

Each spring, the Flint River GREEN Program brings together more than 1,200 area students to help monitor the health of the Flint River watershed as it spans Genesee and Lapeer counties. This environmental program is one of the largest GREEN initiatives in the country and is coordinated by the Flint River Watershed Coalition, a Mott grantee. Learn more about Flint River GREEN at the Foundation's Web site, www.mott.org, and the Coalition at www.flintriver.org.
