Each Spring, for the Past 30 Years, Friends of the Rouge Works With Each spring, for the past 30 years, Friends of the Rouge works with citizens, communities, and supporters across the Rouge River watershed to restore, clean, protect, and appreciate the river that sustains them...the Rouge. As the successor to many clean up events that preceded it, Rouge Rescue honors and recognizes those whose early efforts to protect and restore the Rouge River were met with opposition and ignorance, yet who persisted determinedly. We proudly carry Trillium at Douglas Evans Nature Preserve in that torch through each decade, embracing Beverly Hills every opportunity to educate new generations about their impact on the river and teach them that they have the power to protect and care for this splendid resource for the benefit of generations to come. The event would not be successful without you, the volunteers. We appreciate the hard work and dedication you have shown us over the past 30 years. As we celebrate our anniversary, we are thankful for you and the site coordinators who work so hard to make each site a successful event. It’s not easy coordinating a site and we appreciate Workers at Cass Benton were given photos to identify invasive plant species to be removed at their site. your continued efforts. We also could not do this good work without the support of our corporate sponsors, many of whom also coordinated projects for their employees or sent a team to an existing work site. We are grateful for their support and contributions. Board member, Alice Bailey, brought her children out to plant a native garden in Northville. Promoting restoration and stewardship of the Rouge River since 1986 In the spirit of our 30th Anniversary, Rouge Rescue brought loyal volunteers from across the watershed communities (over 1,100) who participated in river cleanup and stewardship activities at 27 work sites in 14 municipalities. Activities were scheduled on multiple dates. The main event was held on Saturday, May 21 with 18 sites. Four sites worked on May 7, 2 sites on May 14, 1 site on May 30 and 3 sites on June 4 .

The river looks more attractive and has become a wonderful place to recreate close to home. Invasive removal: Seventeen sites removed invasive plants. Garlic mustard, dame’s rocket, honeysuckle and buckthorn were the most common species volunteers worked to control. Volunteers removed 148 cubic yards of invasive plant material from a combined area of 15 acres. Removing garlic mustard at Cass Benton’s Rouge Rescue site. HONEYSUCKLE These volunteers at Rouge Park were so proud of what they accomplished at Rouge Rescue. Everyone can make an impact. Friends of the Rouge is grateful for Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding that has helped support Rouge Rescue invasive control efforts. In addition to Rouge Rescue, FOTR worked with BUCKTHORN the Student Conservation Association to control invasive shrubs in Rouge Park in Detroit and Bell Creek Park in Redford as well as other projects in the Rouge watershed. The work is part of a larger project titled Collaborative GARLIC MUSTARD Invasive Species Control in the Rouge and Detroit River AOC’s awarded to Wayne County Deptartment of Public Services. To date, FOTR has removed8,176 cubic yards of invasive material from a combined area of 17 acres. We are making progress. Rouge Rescue DAME’S ROCKET work sites that have been working to control invasive plant species for several years are reporting isolated occurrences and less dense populations of the species they have worked to control. Why we plant native Michigan plants Plantings: Volunteers planted 1,715 native Polluted storm water and flashy flows are huge problems in the flowers and grasses and 29 trees and shrubs; Rouge River watershed. creating over 18,000+ ft² of deep-roots to Native plants help to reduce storm water runoff and enable infiltration deep in the ground due to the depth of their root systems soak up and infiltrate rain water.

Other: Volunteers maintained 2,500 lineal feet of trail. Eight log jams were cleaned and opened using the WDM 101 Clean and Open Method. Additional activities organized by work sites were: birdhouse building, storm drain stenciling, mercury thermometer exchange, benthic macroinvertebrate education, nature walks, and land-use education. Woody debris management: Work to manage wood in the river has evolved over the past 30 years. Today we use a softer approach advocating for managing large wood in the river rather than completely removing it. Wood is excellent habitat in the stream and helps to slow the river’s flow. Work involves removing man-made trash ensnared in log jams and then strategically moving floatable brush and branches. Larger logs embedded in the bank are left in place. This allows for fish passage, while maintaining calm pools. Wood provides important habitat and structure in the stream. Volunteers clean out a log jam of man-made debris at Hix Park.

  • Each Spring, Friends of the Rouge, in Partnership with Communities And
    Each spring, Friends of the Rouge, in partnership with communities and other organizations throughout the Rouge, brings volunteers together from across the watershed to work toward the common goal of improving the Rouge River for generations to come. This annual event, known as Rouge Rescue, began in 1986 with volunteers removing large quantities of trash from the river. As river sites improved, public perception of the river shifted away from the thought that the river was just an open sewer and a place to dump trash. Today, much of the event is focused on river restoration and volunteers also work to remove invasive plants from the river corridor, install native plantings and stabilize stream banks to improve the health of the river. This year’s Rouge Rescue t-shirt graphic was created by our Rouge Rescue Intern, Dana Wloch. The image demonstrates what we are all working for—a clean and healthy river teaming with life. Rouge Rescue attracted 1,400 volunteers who participated in river cleanup and stewardship activities at 36 work sites in 20 municipalities. Activities were scheduled on multiple dates. The main event was held on Saturday May 30. Twenty-nine (29) sites worked on this date. Four sites worked early (E.L. Johnson Nature Center 5/2, Holliday Nature Preserve 5/9, Cranbrook Institute of Science 5/14 and Hoover Elementary/Dynamite Park 5/21). Three sites worked on June 6 (Linden Park, AISIN/ Northville Twp. and Beech Woods Recreation Center). Three new sites joined in the effort (Rouge Valley Parkway in northwest Detroit, AISIN Corporate Headquarters in Northville Twp.
