Our Mission

The Great Lakes Watershed Cleanup will be held on Earth Day as a Rotary community service project. This collaborative work project has generated much excitement and enthusiasm among the planners and is reflective of The Environment as the newest area of focus of Rotary International. It also reflects our desire to be People of Action and to promote the good work of Rotary.

Rotary’s Watershed Cleanup Objectives:

Improve the aesthetics of the Great Lakes by removing garbage from public areas and roadsides.
Reduce the amount of plastic and litter on our lands and in our waterways.
Remove waste that could potentially be ingested by pets and other wildlife.
Provide an opportunity for public participation in collaborative activities of stewardship.
Educate the public about the effects of littering, the importance of recycling, and instill a sense
Collect and report back to the District organizers on cleanup numbers to track the impacts of all the cleanups.
