- Raising community awareness about the watershed through workshops, seminars, presentations, and volunteer workdays
- Monitoring stream health through a research methods class, part of the biology curriculum
- Implementing on-the-ground habitat restoration throughout the watershed
Get Involved
We would love for you to be part of Plaster Creek Stewards!
Your Time Matters
Volunteers are one of the environment's greatest natural resources.
If you’d like to make a tangible difference, we need your passion and your talent. In return, you’ll find a welcoming, supportive, and appreciative environment. Opportunities are available for all ages and groups.
Your Generosity Matters
Your financial gifts support ongoing education and restoration activities that grants do not fund.
Gifts of all sizes help restore health and beauty in the watershed.
Your Place Matters
Have you ever considered “rainscaping” your yard? Native plants have deep roots that help filter and soak up stormwater, preventing runoff while also providing habitat for Michigan birds and butterflies.
Contact us for advice or help turning your space into a creek-friendly yard.
