What a Creek Connects: Spring Newsletter 2025
As humans, we have a natural inclination towards water. It makes up roughly 60% of our bodies, and we depend on it to survive. It’s no surprise that babbling brooks and coursing rivers draw us to their shores to witness the ways they move and the life they sustain. In this spring’s newsletter, we follow a handful of West Michigan’s creeks to stories of conservation. We visit the Grand River’s tributaries Lamberton Creek and Plaster Creek to learn about decades-long restoration and volunteer projects reaching major milestones. We meander down the Little Cedar Creek, in the Rogue River Watershed, to learn about one man’s dream to protect its shores for good. And we learn about the ways our volunteers and supporters are helping to protect and restore health to the lands that filter the waters that flow through all of West Michigan’s wetlands, creeks, rivers, and lakes.
