Currents April 2017

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.

April1Only a few more weeks to register your group for Storm Drain Marking as our project for Global Youth Service Day 2017! On Saturday, April 22nd, take part in marking local storm drains with the message, “Drains are for Rain, Flows to Waterway”, which helps clarify the common misconception that water entering storm drains is treated.  Our volunteers also pass out informational door hangers to residents living near the marked drains. From 9:00am-12:00pm, volunteers will mark the storm drains in preselected jurisdictions including Toledo, Holland, Sylvania, Waterville, Jerusalem Township, and Oregon (only available 4/29). At 12:30pm, volunteers are invited to an Appreciation Picnic held on the lawn at the United Way building in downtown Toledo as part of Global Youth Service Day.  If weather does not permit us to mark drains on April 22nd, a rainout date is scheduled for April 29th.  For more details and to register, please check out the Storm Drain Marking flyer and registration form on our website.  Registration ends on April 12th. Register today in order to celebrate with us on Earth Day!
