Community Corner

Rouge Rescue 2014

Each spring Friends of the Rouge and community partners

bring volunteers together from across the watershed to work toward the common goal of improving the Rouge River in
Southeast Michigan.  The river winds through neighborhoods and backyards in 48 communities as it
flows to the Detroit River and is home to 1.5 million
people. 



Volunteer help is needed to
clean up trash from the Rouge 

River and to remove invasive plants that threaten biodiversity. 
Volunteers will also work to plant native vegetation
to reduce streambank erosion and the devastating impact of stormwater.  Activities vary by site.  Multiple work sites will
be held across the region.
