Clinton River Watershed Council
Volunteer Project Seeks to Protect and
Enhance Clinton River Watershed
By Shawn Keenan
Water Resources Manager
On the clear sunny day of September 21, 2013, a group of 20
volunteers from First United Methodist Church of Troy, OHM
Advisors, communities around Southeast Michigan and even
all the way from Meridian, Idaho converged on stretch of the
Clinton River from River Woods Park to the City’s Skate Park.
The group of dedicated volunteers worked together to
remove over 15 bags of garbage; cleared a large amount of
branches, limbs and other woody debris from the river and
the river’s edge; and removed one logjam throughout the
one-half mile stretch of river traversing along and between
the two parks.
This annual clean-up effort not only helps keep our river
clean but also helps prevent erosion and allows the Clinton
River to flow more freely. In addition to improving the
environment, this was an excellent opportunity for people
to work as a team towards a common goal that benefits
the entire community. It is this type of dedication and
enthusiasm that has made the Clinton River Clean-up so
successful.
Many people who live, work, play and visit Auburn Hills are
beginning to realize the beautiful river system that exists
right in the heart of our Downtown. The extraordinary effort
these volunteers contributed this year will allow people to
better enjoy the river while fishing, kayaking, canoeing, or
sightseeing.
The City of Auburn Hills would like to send out a special
thank you to all the volunteers who participated in this
year’s clean-up effort.
