The Great Lakes Watershed Cleanup initiative is an effort that has grown from a District 7090 service project covering a small portion of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie to a multi-District plan to focus Rotarians’ attention on all five of the Great Lakes and the streams and waterways feeding them. Our goal every year is to make this the single largest cleanup event ever planned, coinciding with Earth Day (April 22).
The Great Lakes contains almost 20% of the world’s fresh water and is arguably the largest source of fresh water on the planet.
It borders eight states and two provinces and has 9,577 miles (15,323 kilometers) of shoreline.
So far, 15 Districts, 100’s of Clubs, and thousands of Rotary volunteers have agreed to participate.
We will be joining over one billion people worldwide working on projects together in their communities on Earth Day.
We urge all Clubs, Rotarians, Rotaractors, Interactors, and friends, to plan and organize an event to take place on or around April 2.
Support will be available to each Club to help to organize the event.
Correspond with the District contacts to provide cleanup event date(s), location, and lead contact person for each event.
