The Macatawa Watershed Project recently secured a $50,000 grant from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment to complete in depth sediment monitoring in the Macatawa Watershed, in partnership with Hope College. The sampling project will involve forensic analysis of many sediment samples across the watershed to determine the relative point of origin of each sediment type. This information is critically important to the success of future projects as it will help us target areas of the watershed that are shown to be the largest sources for sediment. Please see the Monday August 16th Holland Sentinel article for more information or contact Mary Fales at mfales@the-macc.org if you have any questions.
