Keep the Flint River Clean

Keep the Flint River Clean coordinates water quality monitoring, habitat restoration, and community engagement throughout Michigan's Flint River watershed. The organization's River Ambassador program trains local volunteers to conduct regular water testing, remove debris during scheduled cleanups, and assist with ecological surveys along the urban waterway. Their field activities integrate recreational components like guided paddling excursions and fishing clinics to help residents develop lasting connections with the river system. The group serves as an information clearinghouse and advocacy hub for watershed protection initiatives in the greater Flint region. Their public education programs include water quality workshops, ecosystem management seminars, and hands-on training for citizen scientists interested in environmental monitoring. Keep the Flint River Clean partners with municipal agencies, academic institutions, and conservation groups to advance evidence-based approaches to river stewardship. Volunteer opportunities span multiple focus areas including water sampling, debris removal, and habitat assessment. The organization maintains an active calendar of restoration events, educational programming, and recreational activities designed to increase community participation in river conservation. Their collaborative model emphasizes local stakeholder involvement in developing sustainable management practices for the Flint River ecosystem.
