Welcome!
Friends of the St. Clair River got it's start in 2007 and has since become Michigan's Thumb Coast largest environmental organization. Our mission is to protect and restore the St. Clair River and its watersheds through community education, environmental monitoring, hands-on stewardship and advocacy.
The St. Clair River watershed contains some of the most limited, valuable fresh water on earth and we are here to restore, protect and enhance the future of those waterways and surrounding land. Our passion for the St. Clair River Watershed runs deep - thank you for stopping by!
