Description
Calvin University’s campus is located within the Plaster Creek watershed, an area of land from Caledonia to the Grand River, near downtown Grand Rapids. After many years of neglect and mistreatment, it has become one of the most polluted waterways in West Michigan. Plaster Creek Stewards (PCS) aims to improve the local watershed by focusing on education, research and restoration projects. These projects help through reduction of stormwater runoff containing high amounts of sediment and other pollutants through the use of green infrastructure.
