The Friends and our supporters have worked for 23 years now to help improve the health of the Shiawassee River.  Cleanup volunteers can choose to assist with the cleanup in the river and parks, or paddle stretches of the river via canoes in search of tires and other litter.

The Friends of the Shiawassee River work to promote a healthy Shiawassee River for the enjoyment of all.  Based on the best scientific research, the experiences of other rivers, and specific studies of the Shiawassee River, we are convinced that the River will be healthier without dams.
