Friends Of The Rouge Charity Profile

Friends of the Rouge (FOTR) is a local non-profit organization dedicated to promoting restoration and stewardship of the Rouge River through education and citizen involvement. Since 1986, we have been encouraging people to take action and get directly involved in cleaning up and restoring their streams. We're also leading efforts to educate both young people and adults about the causes and effects of river pollution, and promoting understanding of what can be done about it. One of our goals is to help everyone achieve a sense of "ownership" of their streams and the watershed.

Friends of the Rouge is able to accomplish so much with the help of thousands of volunteers each year. Our mission is to promote stewardship of the Rouge River through public education and involvement. We have volunteers of all ages who do their part to help spread the word of how important our waterways are and how we need to utilize awareness techniques and positive actions to promote the fact that we can change the conditions of the Rouge River and can make it a safe waterway for everyone to enjoy.
