Huron River Watershed Council Annual Report 2005-2006 v To save the Huron River Watershed from irreparable damage, we will change current patterns of development toward The Huron River Watershed is ’s cleanest urban river, the main source of more river-friendly choices, specifically encouraging higher density where the drinking water for the City of Ann Arbor, home to ½ million people and several infrastructure exists, and encouraging threatened and endangered animals. The Huron River is the only state designated open space and farmland preservation “Scenic River” in southeast Michigan under the Natural Rivers Act and has a great in rural areas. reputation for its wealth of recreational opportunities and for having some of the State’s last bogs, meadows, prairies, and forests.

Unfortunately, this unique river is also threatened. The cumulative impacts of: urbanization throughout the watershed, but particularly in the headwaters; growing volumes of sewage discharge; alteration of the hydrology by 98 dams and filling in wetlands and floodplains; and a number of other pressures… all threaten the Huron’s beauty, its usefulness, and its very life. The Huron is estimated to have lost over two- thirds of its wetlands and is projected to lose 40% of the remaining open space by the year 2010. Concern over the Huron River has resulted in the river’s placement on the state’s Unified Watershed Assessment as a category 1 watershed indicating its high restoration priority.

Since 1965, The Huron River Watershed Council (HRWC) has been working to protect and restore the Huron River System. We have over 800 individual members, 42 member governments, and 55 business members. The Council’s nine-person staff coordinates a dozen programs and the work of hundreds of volunteers who serve on our boards, committees, and in other volunteer activities. Our efforts fall into three major categories of Education, Technical Assistance, and Conservation. Our programs cover pollution prevention and abatement, hands-on citizen education and river monitoring, natural resource planning, mass media education and information, and wetland and floodplain protection.
