Register Now for the Ottawa County Water Quality Forum

Ottawa County, MI— Twenty-five miles of Lake Michigan shoreline; 475,000 feet of prominent rivers and streams; 3,600 acres of major inland lakes. These are just a few of the natural and unique characteristics of the lakeshore’s Ottawa County—and they are worth protecting. On Friday, November 13, researchers, practitioners, policy makers and citizens are invited to the Tenth Annual Water Quality Forum. The forum brings together area experts to share and discuss ways to safeguard and preserve one of West Michigan’s most valuable resources—its water. Register now at miOttawa.org.

A distinguished group of researchers and professionals from Michigan State University, Grand Valley State University, West Michigan Environmental Action Council, Michigan Farm Bureau and many more will share results and updates on water quality projects.

The complete agenda is available at miOttawa.org along with registration details.
