Huron River Watershed Council

The Huron River Watershed Council (HRWC) is a nonprofit organization based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Founded in 1965, HRWC is southeast Michigan’s oldest environmental organization dedicated to river protection. With 37 employees, the organization works to inspire positive attitudes, behaviors, and economic practices that support the protection, rehabilitation, and sustainability of the Huron River System. HRWC serves a diverse constituency of Huron Valley residents, businesses, and local governments. The organization monitors the Huron River, its tributaries, lakes, and groundwater, and implements programs focused on pollution prevention and abatement, wetland and floodplain protection, citizen education, and natural resource and land-use planning. HRWC bridges political boundaries by building partnerships between and among communities, community leaders, residents, and commercial enterprises. These collaborations allow for a more comprehensive approach to environmental stewardship within the Huron River watershed.
