Working Teams

The scale of The Boardman: A River Reborn is unprecedented in the State of Michigan and is made possible through the collaboration of multiple stakeholder agencies and organizations.  From early discussions through the process of determining the final disposition of the dams, to the implementation of the dam removal process, citizen involvement has played a critical role.  Much of the project continues to be led by working teams composed of knowledegable professionals and volunteers who are passionate about the long term health of the Boardman River.
