2025 Great Lakes Stewardship - Great Lakes Stewardship

Project Summary

West Michigan teachers and their students will gain awareness of the value of their local watershed to human and non-human communities within the Lake Michigan Basin through participation in direct

experiences with local waterways. This will be done using a place-based approach and the newly developed Great Lakes Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE) Toolkit. Students will then work

with local partners to design and implement projects focused on improving and protecting the watershed for all.
