Did you know that the Great Lakes are the biggest freshwater source in the world? Lake Erie is the most productive for fishing of all the Great Lakes. Your support helps make our streams clean, clear and healthy so they can support this complex ecosystem. By donating to PCS, you help us reach our goals of restoring rivers that lead to Lake Erie beaches that promote fishable and swimmable conditions for generations.

GLOgroupDo you want to help out your local community in a fun and exciting way? Join PCS on July 14th from 6-8pm and July 28th from 5-8pm for “Get the Lead Out!” It’s a cleanup program that allows volunteers to have a clear and direct impact on improving wildlife habitat in and around the river by removing fishing line, lead lures, and trash from the mighty Maumee River. Get the Lead Out is ideal for volunteers ages 8 and up and has been going on for over 10 years. Can’t come to the scheduled events but want to do your part? Once the river levels go down, do your own cleanup on your own time. Get the Lead Out runs throughout the summer so there is plenty of time for you to schedule your own outing. Just register on our website using this form. You will receive your Get the Lead Out kit, which will provide you with all the supplies you needed to collect lead and line. With your help, PCS can continue to recycle or reuse all lead and line collected. So get ready for an awesome adventure, get your group together, and help us Get the Lead Out!
