Lakeshore Cleanup Coalition

The Macatawa Area Coordinating Council completed a Trash Free Waters grant from the EPA in December 2022. This grant supported beach and river cleanups in Ottawa and Allegan Counties from summer of 2020 through fall of 2022. This project was in partnership with Ottawa County Parks and Recreation, the Ottawa Conservation District, Hope College, the ODC Network, the Allegan Conservation District, and the Kalamazoo River Watershed Council. Collectively, these partners formed a group that we call the Lakeshore Cleanup Coalition, We will continue to collaborate on beach and river cleanups and litter reduction education in 2023 and beyond.
