The Friends of the Rouge (FOTR) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1986 to raise awareness about the need to clean up the Rouge River. The Conservancy Initiative is very appreciative to learn that FOTR has sent a letter to EGLE explaining the importance of Johnson Creek and their opposition to the proposals by Advanced Disposal Services to discharge treated landfill leachate.
The Conservancy Initiative encourages all our members to review the FOTR letter to understand better the biodiversity that is represented in this cold water stream.
In addition to providing a link to the FOTR letter opposing the landfill,s discharge plans, we also are including a link to the Friend of the Rouge website for you to explore. The virtual kayak tour of the Rouge River looks pretty interesting.
