Thank you for checking us out. This is a shared website for the Upper Grand River Watershed Alliance, the Jackson Michigan Urban Area MS4 Stormwater Committee, the Upper Grand River Water Trail Planning Committee, and the Jackson County Conservation District's Upper Grand River Implementation Project (UGRIP).

Within this website you'll find information about the Upper Grand River, its beauty, the threats it faces, and the individuals and organizations that are working to protect and restore the river.

Please let us know what you think. We hope you'll want to learn more and take part in restoring the river.
