Partner Highlight - Plaster Creek Stewards

The Plaster Creek Stewards is a group of Calvin College faculty, staff and students who work to improve the quality of the Plaster Creek Watershed. LGROW has partnered with the Plaster Creek Stewards on numerous projects to improve the water quality of Plaster Creek and the Grand River. Some of the recent projects include creating and implementing the Grand River Rainscaping Program: Treating Stormwater Naturally, which provide residential site assessements for homeowners to assess the suitability of green stormwater infrastructure for their properties, installing rain gardens, bioswales, and other stormwater management practices, and providing education to local schools on general watershed information and best management practices.
