Our Mission

The Friends of the Shiawassee River is a Non-profit organization that was founded in 1996. Our mission is to care, to maintain and improve the water quality and habitats of the Shiawassee River watershed; share, to enhance the community's appreciation and knowledge of the river, especially among youth; and enjoy, to increase recreational access and responsible use of the Shiawassee River.  


We invite you to participate in our survey on the FOSR and our activities. It is confidential and should take 10 minutes. Click Here to take survey

14th Annual River Clean-up and Tire Collection
Saturday August 6, 2011 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Downtown Owosso
Join the Friends of the Shiawassee River and the Shiawassee County Health Deptartment as we clean  the riverbanks of the Shiawassee. Volunteers will meet at 9:00 a.m. in either Owosso or Corunna. Owosso volunteers will meet at Oakwood Ave, while Corunna volunteers will meet McCurdy Park.

The clean-up will happen in conjunction to the SCHD annual tire collection. Thanks to Cheff's Canoe, volunteers will receive a complimentary canoe rental when looking for tires from Byron to Shiatown. Arrangements for storing tires can be made with Jennifer McMillon, 989-723-9062.
