Working groups of people have been assembling to conduct watershed scale projects over the past several decades.  The need for ongoing communication between groups was identified.  The Kalamazoo River Watershed Council took on the responsibility to pass on information about pollution cleanup and prevention through a Watershed Communication Center.  The Communication Center has generated a large and growing e-mail list of watershed contacts.  This website is the next iteration of Communication Center operations, with the next iteration being a stepped up effort for paper and electronic newsletter distribution.

A partnership agreement was generated and candidate partners will soon be invited to sign on.

The groups committed to this partnership will jointly recognize the need for improving, maintaining and protecting the quality of the Kalamazoo River Watershed.  They will share a desire to protect and enhance the designated and desired uses of the watersheds.  The parties will do so in the unanimous belief that restoring these assets to their full potential will provide significant aesthetic, recreational, economic and environmental benefits to the area for years to come.
