ABYA Report:

P/C Brian McEvoy

ABYA notes from JYC meeting The guest speaker at the general membership meeting was Abby Lane from the Clinton River Watershed. She did a beautiful presentation on what the Clinton River Watershed was about. This includes facts like, the clean-up of 760 square miles of river, and river water shed which is covered by the Association. One of the largest problems is storm drain pollution. Please be careful what goes down the road gutters and drains as they all end up in the river and Lake St Clair in the end.
