The Chippewa River Watershed planning partnership has based its comprehensive watershed management plan (CWMP) on six planning regions. Each planning region has a list of prioritized and targeted resource concerns, measurable goals, and implementation actions. Implementation actions will be focused based on the CWMP on the highest and medium priority practices in locations within each planning region, which were prioritized based on local concerns, programs, etc.
GCST 1970 is a 4-credit program for college & high school students in partnership with the YMCA & Three Rivers Park District to learn about their cultural heritage & connection to the land. This collaboration brings under-represented students to a wilderness camp to engage in nature, environmental justice and issues of equity, access, and inclusion in outdoor spaces. Students participate in 5 days of immersive learning in and from nature, from each other, & from local tribal elders and artists.
