HOLISTIC APPROACH
Healthy watersheds = healthy humans
Our approach relies upon scientific data, community partnership, and long-term commitment!
The Muskegon River Watershed Assembly applies a holistic, thoughtful approach to all projects and activities. Projects are guided by the places we work, the people that live there, and robust scientific data and information. Official watershed management plans, monitoring results, and peer-reviewed literature ensure benefits for the watershed and its communities.
Place-based restoration & conservation
Every place in the Muskegon River Watershed is unique. From beginning to end, MRWA’s projects are informed by local ecology, geology, history, and community. This ensures measurable, beneficial, and long-lasting results.
People-based restoration & conservation
Healthy watersheds require healthy humans, and vice-versa. MRWA’s projects are driven by community involvement and support. People like landowners, neighbors, businesses, and communities work together to complete projects and build generational stewardship.
Local support, lasting returns
Local investment from communities and partners unlocks state and federal grant opportunities, allowing MRWA to bring resources home to protect, conserve, and restore waters, lands, and quality of life.
