Help Identify Solutions to Reduce Flooding in the Ecorse Creek Watershed

Friends of the Detroit River is encouraging residents to attend community meetings to help identify solutions to reduce flooding in the Ecorse Creek Watershed. Meetings are held virtually the third Thursday of every month at 3:30pm EST. Visit www.detroitriver.org/ecorse-creek for more information.

Ecorse Creek is a highly urbanized watershed that has experienced significant flooding for decades. Communities in the watershed include Allen Park, Dearborn Heights, Ecorse, Inkster, Lincoln Park, Melvindale, Romulus, Southgate, Taylor, Westland, and Wyandotte. Gathering community feedback is a critical step to gauging the interest and potential for projects to reduce flooding and restore ecosystem function.

Huron River Watershed Council (HRWC) volunteers are vital to moving the organization’s mission forward. As a volunteer, you will work with fun, like-minded locals to help us collect samples and data that we use to advocate for the health of Huron River.

Join HRWC for a variety of events such as River Roundup, Insect ID Day, Stonefly Search, or with the Chemistry and Flow Monitoring program.
