Our water quality programs would not be possible without the dedication of our volunteers. April 7th-13th is National Volunteer Week, when we celebrate all the volunteers who helped us improve our local environment throughout the year. Our Storm Drain Marking, CYS 365, Get the Lead Outs, Glass City Marathon Green Team, Fishing Line Recycling Bins, and of course, Clean Your Streams Day programs are only successful because of volunteers like you! In 2018, we had 1,584 individuals who came out to take care of our streams. We are inspired by how many people care about the health of our waterways. If you want to support our streams, there are several upcoming opportunities for you to volunteer.
