Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat NewsThe Newsletter of Freshwater FutureThe Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat News is the newsletter of Freshwater Future, published four times per year. The News is intended to provide a forum for the free exchange of ideas among citizens and organizations working to protect aquatic habitats in the Great Lakes Basin. Volume 16, Number 2 • Summer 2008 Great Lakes Water WalkFreshwater Future is sponsoring the First Annual Great Lakes Water Walk to raise funds for programs that support our Great Lakes. This summer Freshwater Future is aiming to raise $1 per mile of shoreline to raise funds for our programs to protect and restore the lakes, rivers, and wetlands in the Great Lakes region. Our goal is to raise $10,000--a dollar per mile, to assist local community water protection efforts. There are two easy ways to participate - through per mile pledge or a fixed amount donation. All pledges of $50 or more will receive a one-year membership to Freshwater Future. Walking will be done during June and July. To make a pledge, go to www.freshwaterfuture.org and click on WaterWalk. |
Freshwater Future builds effective community-based citizen action to protect and restore the water quality of the Great Lakes basin. We work toward this goal by providing financial assistance, communications and networking assistance and technical assistance to citizens and grassroots watershed groups throughout the Great Lakes basin. Through these efforts we work with over 1,800 grassroots watershed groups and citizens to protect and restore the rivers, lakes and wetlands in their communities. Freshwater Future is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization. For more information, please contact: info@freshwaterfuture.org |
